and mitigate cheating or other issues arising when the student and
the teacher are not in the same room * Draws from dozens of years

This book provides teachers and school leaders with practical,
effective, and proven assessment strategies that are immediately
implementable in classrooms. You'll learn about 20 high-impact
formative assessment strategies, with details on how they can be
applied to a variety of content areas and grade levels, including
mathematics, science, language arts, social studies, and various
electives. In this accessible book, these experienced authors
demonstrate the how and why, along with a framework for folding
these new ideas into job-embedded professional development. 20
Formative Assessment Strategies that Work provides the full toolkit
for implementing, managing, and modifying these assessment
strategies in your school and classrooms today.

The majority of the research in the US public education system has
been conducted in large urban areas that do not reflect the
majority of urban systems. The categorization of the size of
districts does not capture the organizational diversity and
complexity of school systems, including at-risk students and other
demographic variables. The implications are that policy,
preparation, research and funding are adversely skewed by an
overrepresentation of research in urban districts that do not
reflect the majority. This edited collection explores the ways in
which small to mid-sized school districts influence leadership
preparation, leadership practice, and accountability and
assessment. With contributions from respected specialists, the
volume addresses topics such as coaching, poverty, leadership
preparation programs, accountability and assessment, English
Language Learners, district leadership, and organizational learning
and trust.
This book will feature lessons learned about the successful
implementation of leadership program preparation and development
programs that are grant-funded by the United States Department of
Education through the School Leadership Program. Each chapter will
highlight one or more practices that have been identified as a best
practice by the literature and detail how the program implemented
the practice(s). It is clear from the literature what should be
done to prepare aspiring and current leaders (i.e. mentoring,
in-depth internships, partnerships) but what is not clear is how to
do this. This book will do exactly that with real-life experiences
in the implementation of these practices (including successes,
challenges, etc.). These will be authentic examples from the field
about how practitioners have addressed challenges in implemented
successful activities such as coaching, the internship, evaluating
projects, and forging partnerships with preparation entities.

The School Leadership Program (SLP) is a federal grant sponsored by
the United States Department of Education. A hallmark of the grant
is the connectivity between various agencies to provide quality
leadership preparation and development programs for aspiring and
current school leaders. These collaborative efforts involve
community and educational stakeholders including districts,
universities, city agencies, not-for-profit entities, foundations,
private academic organizations, and others involved in the
development of school leaders. Since its inception in 2002, over
one hundred grants have been funded. This edited book's purpose is
to share innovative, research-based practices from the federally
funded grants that are sustainable after the life of the grant and
are able to be used throughout the field for preparing and
developing aspiring and current school leaders. This book features
the work of current and past grantees around their innovative
practices and lessons learned about school leadership preparation
and development, especially around the issue of sustainability of
these practices upon completion of the grant. SLP Grantees share
practical, usable lessons learned from their experiences with the
grants, based on their research, project data, and practical
experience.

Design thinking is a human-centered problem-solving process that
organizations can use to address wicked and complex problems of
practice. Within the PK-12 space, design thinking has been employed
to engage educators in an innovative approach to address challenges
like curriculum redesign, instructional engagement, and designing
physical spaces. The use of design thinking in the PK-12 space is a
result of the evolution of an organizational improvement process
that puts people at the center of problem-solving initiatives.
Design thinking is seen as both a process and a mindset that
enables people to look at problems in new ways and address these
problems through creative approaches. In this book we share case
studies of PK-12 schools and other educational organizations that
have used design thinking, as well as research studies that have
studied aspects of design thinking in the PK-12 space. We have
brought together a variety of research-based and illustrative case
studies around design thinking in PK-12 education that explore the
development and implementation of design thinking in practice.
