Every School
Author: Donald P. Nielsen
Publisher: Discovery Institute
ISBN: 9781936599622
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
How would an entrepreneur reform education? In Every School, Don Nielsen draws on his business career and two decades as a school activist, to offer innovative solutions to the educational challenges facing our country. Lasting change, Nielsen argues, will not come mainly through local school boards, but rather through state legislative action that empowers school administrators to make choices in the interests of their students. The book is essential reading for parents, policymakers and citizens who want to improve the present system, and who have the courage to pursue the recommendations contained within. This updated version includes a "game plan" for a state with specific steps to implement the changes Nielsen recommends.

Every School a Great School
Author: David Hopkins
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Education (UK)
ISBN: 0335229875
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
'Every school a great school' is not just a slogan, but an aspiration for the next stage of education reform, in which each student has the opportunity to reach their full potential. The book argues that, for 'every school a great school' to become a reality, requires a move from individual school improvement efforts and short term objectives to a sustainable system-wide response that seeks to re-establish a balance between national prescription and schools leading reform. Achieving this goal requires strategies that not only continue to raise standards, but also build capacity within the system. David Hopkins identifies four key educational 'drivers' that, if pursued, have the potential to deliver 'every school a great school': Personalized learning Professionalized teaching Networking and innovation Intelligent accountability The author believes that it is the responsibility of system leaders to mould the four drivers to fit individual school contexts. It is this leadership that enables systemic reform to be generic in terms of overall strategy and specific in adapting to individual and particular situations. Every School a Great School is inspirational reading for head teachers, senior leaders and managers, researchers, lecturers and those with a passionate interest in improving education for all.

Making every school a health-promoting school
Author:
Publisher: World Health Organization
ISBN: 9240025057
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
Governments and school communities recognize increasingly that health, well-being and educational outcomes are closely intertwined and that schools are important resources for influencing the health and well-being of students, families and the wider community. The school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic have made these links particularly clear. A health-promoting school is “a school that constantly strengthens its capacity as a safe and healthy setting for living, learning and working”. The concept of health-promoting schools (HPS) is a whole-school approach to promoting health and educational attainment in school communities by capitalizing on the organizational potential of schools to foster the physical, social–emotional and psychological conditions for health as well as for positive education outcomes. The HPS approach and related whole-school approaches to health have been associated with considerable improvements in many domains of student health, well-being, nutrition and functioning.
