The purpose of this book is to help school and district leadership
teams transform their high schools by connecting the key components
of high school reform in ways that powerfully improve student
performance. The conceptual framework of key components includes
three dimensions: Three overarching themes that form the basis for
effective high school reform. These three themes include: a)
connecting the learner and the learning environment, b) making the
goals of high schools work at the local level, and c) connecting
states, districts, communities and schools in productive ways. Each
of these overarching themes will have guiding principles and
examples. Four key components of local high school reform: a)
creating standards, assessment and curriculum that focuses local
improvement efforts; b) creating a good school design; c) creating
good instruction, catch-up and student support for all students;
and d) creating the community and school context for learning:
safety, diversity support, partnerships and community connections
Two levers for local improvements: a) using data and moral resolve
in the context of professional learning communities and
collaboration, and b) linking school leadership, organization,
resources and systems support.
