Book Description
ABSTRACT: Student performance on standardized tests correlates with demographic factors such as race and socio-economic status. On standardized tests, minority and low income students often perform below average. Previous analysis of 10th grade Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) Reading scores demonstrated that students at some schools with a majority at-risk population perform significantly below the state average, whereas students at other, similar schools perform significantly above the state average on this test. This study examined the differences between classroom factors, such as teacher beliefs and instructional practice, that might help explain these differences in performance among similar students on the 10th grade FCAT Reading test. Teachers at four schools with a majority of at-risk students were observed, interviewed and surveyed. This study found that teachers at high performing schools emphasized learner-centered teaching in both belief and practice, de-emphasizing the FCAT and the benchmarks tested. In contrast, teachers at low performing schools emphasized teacherix centered behaviors, both in belief and practice, and focused specifically on the FCAT as well as specific benchmarks tested.

School Leadership in Diverse Contexts
Author: Simon Clarke
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317595912
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
School Leadership in Diverse Contexts demonstrates the centrality of context to understanding school leadership. It offers varied portrayals of leadership in a diverse range of distinct settings. Each chapter highlights the prominence of context in understanding the realities of school leadership, focusing on issues and influences that school leaders face, strategies school leaders adopt to deal with the complexities of their work, and conceptualisations of school leadership relevant to the context. An impressive array of international experts examine this neglected area of research by considering school leadership in nine heterogeneous contexts, providing rich and varied portrayals of school leadership and suggesting ways in which the leadership may be enhanced. School Leadership in Diverse Contexts is an ideal book for undergraduate and postgraduate students, particularly those studying units in educational leadership, comparative education and educational policy. Similarly undergraduate and postgraduate students engaged with development studies, history, sociology, law, human geography will be attracted to this text.

Visible Learning
Author: John Hattie
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134024118
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 454
Book Description
This unique and ground-breaking book is the result of 15 years research and synthesises over 800 meta-analyses on the influences on achievement in school-aged students. It builds a story about the power of teachers, feedback, and a model of learning and understanding. The research involves many millions of students and represents the largest ever evidence based research into what actually works in schools to improve learning. Areas covered include the influence of the student, home, school, curricula, teacher, and teaching strategies. A model of teaching and learning is developed based on the notion of visible teaching and visible learning. A major message is that what works best for students is similar to what works best for teachers – an attention to setting challenging learning intentions, being clear about what success means, and an attention to learning strategies for developing conceptual understanding about what teachers and students know and understand. Although the current evidence based fad has turned into a debate about test scores, this book is about using evidence to build and defend a model of teaching and learning. A major contribution is a fascinating benchmark/dashboard for comparing many innovations in teaching and schools.
