Drawing on work from educational psychology as well as several
other fields, Rueda identifies three primary reasons for the
stubborn failure of most school reform efforts: 1) a fragmentation
of approaches, 2) a misalignment of approaches and goals, and 3) a
failure to match solutions to problems. He argues that most
performance and achievement problems are rooted in knowledge gaps,
motivation gaps, and institutional gaps, or a combination thereof.
This book provides an overview of each of these three dimensions,
and discusses ways that they can affect performance. It then
discusses a problem-solving framework that helps pinpoint where
gaps exist in school efforts to improve performance, and then
targets development of solutions and successful outcome loops that
are customised to the specific areas that are problematic. The book
concludes with a discussion of cultural and contextual
considerations that must be taken into account when addressing
school-based problems. At a time of shrinking budgets and growing
accountability, this practical book provides a way to assure that
scarce resources are targeted appropriately.
