Описание: Lately, our nation's strategy for improving our schools is mostly limited to "getting tough" with teachers. Blaming teachers for poor outcomes, we spend almost all of our energy trying to control teachers' behavior and school operations. But what if all of this is exactly the opposite of what is needed? What if teachers are the answer and not the problem? What if trusting teachers, and not controlling them, is the key to school success? Examining the experiences of teachers who are already trusted to call the shots, this book answers: What would teachers do if they had the autonomy not just to make classroom decisions, but to collectively--with their colleagues--make the decisions influencing whole school success? Decisions such as school curriculum, how to allocate the school budget, and whom to hire. Teachers with decision-making authority create the schools that many of us profess to want. They individualize learning. Their students are active (not passive) learners who gain academic and life skills. The teachers create school cultures that are the same as those in high-performing organizations. They accept accountability and innovate, and make efficient use of resources. These promising results suggest: it's time to trust teachers.

Описание: The School Leadership Survival Guide: What to Do When Things Go Wrong, How to Learn from Mistakes, and Why You Should Prepare for the Worst is intended as an uncommon guide for school leaders and a resource they can turn to when confronted with issues they might not normally face in typical practice. The book serves as a bridge between research and day-to-day school leadership, and is intended to help leaders and school communities improve in areas they routinely avoid. In this sense, the book is meant as a “go to” resource for principals, those who train and teach them, and scholars. Although authors recognize the complexity of issues raised in the book, each chapter has a “How to” “What to do” or “Why You Should” ethos in order to give the book a unifying structure and help provide a practical translation of research and theory into practice.

Some of the issues addressed include:

• How to elevate student voice;
• How to navigate religious conflict in the school and community;
• How to improve support for LGBTIQ students;
• Why You Should develop a natural disaster plan;
• How to work against racism in the school and community;
• How to practice inclusion in the school;
• How to make a vision and mission come to life;
• How to manage relationships with difficult people;
• What to do when there is racial tension in the community;
• How to learn the history of your school and community—and why that matters;
• How to guide and support a leadership team, and;
• What to do in a school with low trust

Описание: Beyond A Crisis makes the case for drastic reform of a higher education now hopelessly corrupted by radical politics. This book takes the various aspects of the dysfunction one by one: How and why is political motivation always destructive of higher learning? What is now the essential core of the problem on the campuses, and how extensive is it? How much remains uncorrupted, and for how long is that likely to last? How was the deliberate campaign to politically cleanse the campuses of opposing voices able to succeed, and how was it able to circumvent countless laws and institutional regulations designed to keep the campuses free from political influence, when it was always widely known that political motivation would destroy them? What is the value of a typical higher education now, and how has it deteriorated over the last fifty years? Why are campuses once seen as a source of wisdom so frequently the scene of extraordinary foolishness?

Beyond a Crisis surveys many kinds of serious damage that the universities are now doing to our society: to elementary and high school education, to race relations and minority advancement, to the preparation of students for the workplace, and to the political and social fabric of the nation. Ellis argues that the commonly suggested remedies (new free speech rules, or enforced right of center appointments) will all fail because they leave untouched the central core of the problem: the controlling faculty majority of political radicals who have no real interest in higher learning nor any aptitude for it. The problem of heavily corrupted higher education will persist until our society takes a hard look at what is being done with the vast sums it pays for higher education, and decides that this fraud and abuse of public money to promote a political agenda must be stopped.

Описание: This book brings the idea of a public-defined in part as the quality of communication among strangers-back into focus. The benefits of doing this are many, but perhaps the most important are to adjust our understanding of what is good teaching and to widen our understanding of what counts as central to the educational process.
