Public education in America has undergone a vast series of changes
during the last four decades. The majority of these changes are
driven by policy-the most recent, No Child Left Behind-but
regardless of laws passed, principals and school leaders across the
country are scrambling to discover ways to unleash the next
breakthrough in public education-success for all. In many parts of
the country, that success must come on dwindling resources. Over
the years much has been written about excellence, equity, and
efficiency. The ongoing struggle for administrators and educational
leaders is to discover how these apparent conflicting values can
not only be survived but also managed to produce unprecedented
results in school improvement. Excellence, Equity, and Efficiency
presents a "Quality School Improvement" (QSI) framework for
overcoming the conflict that exists between these values and
provides recommendations for principals and policymakers to meet
the demands for accountability and continuous improvement based
upon that framework. Researched and written by a fulltime
practicing principal in the field, this book: documents hundreds of
actual events and struggles that principals have faced while
attempting to manage the demands these values present, includes a
story of the author's school and district that is successfully
rejecting both the notion of social promotion and retention in
their attempt to reconcile excellence, equity, and efficiency
through the concept of priority leadership.
