This book is different than its predecessors in that it identifies
and synthesizes twelve key constructs that have important
implications for both administrators and researchers; these
constructs guide administrators engaged in meaningful school
improvement efforts and provide researchers an agenda for future
study. The articles of the book capture decades of theoretical and
research work. Essential Ideas for the Reform of American Schools
identifies and synthesizes key constructs that have important
implications for the improvement of schools. The articles have been
written over a period of several decades and are grounded in
theoretical analysis and empirical research. Together they form a
coherent body of literature for both practitioners interested in
improving schools and researchers committed to the study of school
effectiveness. Twelve Key Concepts for School Improvement The
chapters are organized around constructs that have been identified
as critical aspects of schooling and schools in the United States;
all have been published in scholarly national and international
journals, and all are analyses we have done alone, together, or
with our colleagues and former students. The research and theory
demonstrates how a body of work by a group of researchers can build
and expand to new areas as old questions are answered and as new
ones shape future inquiry.
