Over the last 20 years, many districts and schools have begun to
explore year-round education or a modified calendar in response to
student under-achievement in low performing schools. Here, the
authors detail their two-year study of Title I, year-round, or
modified calendar schools that switched from a traditional to a
modified schedule in order to meet the academic needs of students.
Year-Round Education will: * Highlight the benefits of the modified
calendar for teachers * Explain the transition process through
three real-life case studies * Identify the principals' leadership
styles as a transformational facilitator, transformational leader,
transactional leader, and authoritarian administrator. Features
include: * An action plan for schools/districts preparing for the
transition * Ideas for setting up an intersession program * A
comparison of teacher motivation and leadership styles from each
case study * A discussion on university partnerships and community
support * A review of professional work and literature on teacher
motivation and year-round education * An actual intersession
brochure with classes listed Written in layman's terms this book
will be of interest to parents, community members, and educational
professionals interested in student achievement and teacher
motivation.
