This book will provide educational leaders a comprehensive set of
suggestions, recommendations, and resources related to leading the
implementation process for social-emotional learning. We begin with
an exploration of the meaning of social and emotional learning-and
the various operational definitions currently in use among leading
educators and SEL-related organizations. The introductory section
of the handbook also reinforces our assertion that SEL and equity
are two closely interrelated priorities in education today-perhaps
the two singularly most significant priorities we are all facing in
our profession. Next, the handbook explores the nature of effective
SEL leadership, including priorities for superintendents and other
educational leaders, as well as the importance of distributed
leadership via networking and the building of communities of
practice related to aligning social-emotional learning with student
health, nutrition, and academic progress.
Whether it is requests for bricks and mortar or more operating
money, each election type and context is unique with no guarantee
that a set of campaign strategies successful in one district will
not fail in another community. If successful campaigns were not
such a delicate balance of science and art, the key to success
would have long since been discovered, resulting in significantly
more school districts winning at the ballot box. As members of the
baby-boom generation collectively watch their last child receive a
diploma from our nation's public schools, passing school finance
elections is going to be even more difficult, promising tougher
battles with the electorate and tighter margins between success and
failure. School Finance Elections represents a marriage of research
and successful practice, presenting a comprehensive planning model
for school leaders preparing for and conducting school finance
elections. Information presented emphasizes systems and strategies
rather than specific campaign tactics. Avoiding a myopic focus on
tactics allows school leaders to elevate their thinking to a more
comprehensive and long-range vision of election planning. Each of
the chapters elaborates on one of the ten elements in the authors'
comprehensive planning model. Use of this model has reaped success
in all types of school districts from New Jersey to California, and
the authors aim to bring readers success at the ballot box as well.
This second edition builds on the first with expanded sections
about the attitudes of voters whose children have grown and
graduated, research into the nature of organized opposition, and
new material highlighting the Internet in campaigns. The authors
provide school leaders with important resources to guide their
planning and execution of school finance referenda."
