Описание: If there is one thing that describes the trajectory of American education, it is this: more high-stakes testing. In the United States, the debates surrounding this trajectory can be so fierce that it feels like we are in uncharted waters. As Christopher Bjork reminds us in this study, however, we are not the first to make testing so central to education: Japan has been doing it for decades. Drawing on Japan's experiences with testing, overtesting, and recent reforms to relax educational pressures, he sheds light on the best path forward for US schools.
Bjork asks a variety of important questions related to testing and reform: Does testing overburden students? Does it impede innovation and encourage conformity? Can a system anchored by examination be reshaped to nurture creativity and curiosity? How should any reforms be implemented by teachers? Each chapter explores questions like these with careful attention to the actual effects policies have had on schools in Japan and other Asian settings, and each draws direct parallels to issues that US schools currently face. Offering a wake-up call for American education, Bjork ultimately cautions that the accountability-driven practice of standardized testing might very well exacerbate the precise problems it is trying to solve.

Описание: Today's educational leaders are often caught in a world of rising expectations and diminishing resources -- the political pressures are enormous. Those in the business of education often feel ill prepared and apprehensive about their ability to deal with a high-stakes political environment. The Politically Intelligent Leader helps leaders at all levels learn more about themselves and their own political styles. It provides strategies for delivering a personal educational vision, diagnosing others' styles, and customizing strategies to influence those who can help or hinder one's organizational goals as well as providing groundwork for leaders to understand how to operate ethically with all groups -- elected boards, citizen groups, unions and volunteers -- during politically volatile times.

Understanding the risks involved in hiring new faculty is becoming increasingly important. In Managing Risk in High-Stakes Faculty Employment Decisions Julee T. Flood and Terry Leap critically examine the landscape of US institutions of higher learning and the legal and human resource management practices pertinent to college and university faculty members. To help minimize the potential pitfalls in the hiring and promotion processes, Flood and Leap suggest ways that risk management principles can be applied within the unique culture of academia.
Claims of workplace harassment and discrimination, violation of free speech and other First Amendment rights, social movements decrying unequal hiring practices, and the growing number of non-tenure track and adjunct faculty, require those involved in hiring and promotion decisions to be more knowledgeable about contract law, best practices in hiring, and risk management, yet many newly appointed administrators are often not sufficiently trained in these matters or in understanding how they might be applied in an academic setting. Human resource departments, hiring committees, department chairs, and academics seeking faculty jobs need resources such as Managing Risk in High-Stakes Faculty Employment Decisions now more than ever.
Outlines critical issues affecting U.S. higher education Analyzes the social and psychological biases that can arise during hiring, promotion, and tenure decisions Discusses contract and constitutional law from the perspective of institutions of higher learning Illustrates complex interactions that shape contractual, constitutional, and collegial issues in institutions of higher learning Examines contract rights and controversies for tenured and tenure-track faculty Describes how risk management processes can help to deal with these complicated, but critical, issues Addresses constitutional issues associated with academic freedom and free speech on campus Investigates the nebulous, but important, issue of collegiality Discusses the future for institutions of higher learning in hiring faculty

Описание: Leadership in Schools is designed to provide educators practical tips about the broad and complex issue of leadership. Schools are a vital social institution in this, or any, society. However, the difficult economic times school staff face, linked to the changing roles society have given to educators, makes leading in this day-and-age a very difficult proposition. In Leadership in Schools educators are given pragmatic suggestions related to topics that confront supervisors and teachers on a daily basis. How do you deal with conflict? How can I avoid the burn out that plagues many educators? Are there strategies for working with angry children? In what way can I be a more centered and balanced person in my work? These and many other questions are addressed in this work. Leadership in Schools, while a book geared toward practitioners, is also one that offers a philosophical element. Sections of the book provide lessons drawn from disparate sources and that afford educators new ideas they can apply to their practice. Sources mined for this information within the pages of Leadership in Schools include classical philosophy, Buddhist teachings, politics, literature, and psychology. In Leadership in Schools readers are offered a menu of leadership strategies that can be of assistance to them not only in their work but in their broader lives as well. Readers will come away from this book with a realization that while work is a vital part of life it cannot be the center of it. No person is solely defined by their work. Rather, to be effective in work you must be effective in life. It is with this theme that the authors of Leadership in Schools structure the essays that make up this practical look at the complex subject of educational leadership.
