Implementing NCLB: Creating a Knowledge Framework to Support School Improvement de Paul L. Kimmelman

Implementing NCLB: Creating a Knowledge Framework to Support School Improvement

Autor Paul L. Kimmelman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 mai 2006
Implementing the No Child Left Behind Act is a monumental task, and Paul Kimmelman shows readers how to overcome the obstacles and challenges to meeting NCLB's rigorous requirements. Starting with a concise overview of the origins—and inevitability—of NCLB, Kimmelman then introduces a knowledge framework to build organizational capacity. Acquiring, managing, and using data are key to making informed decision making and empowering everyone in the school—and this increased organizational capacity is key to improving schools.
Implementing change is hard work, and Kimmelman includes lessons in leadership from education, science, and business. The book includes examples of current practices, research, strategies and reflective questions, and action ideas to help leaders and leadership teams move these ideas into practice.

Recenzii

"I believe this book should be read by every administrator and teacher leader. It provides a framework for schools to address the need for continuous school improvement in order to meet the expectations of NCLB."
"This inspirational book provides a convincing and compelling call to action. Kimmelman provides plenty of practical examples and moves easily between specific applications and the big picture."
“This is a must-read book for anyone who cares about NCLB. By owning up to the difficulty of implementation—and proffering real ideas for meeting NCLB’s challenges—it provides the armature for essential reform and improvement efforts.”

" . . . an important guide to thinking about how to create the infrastructure to support sustained school improvement. Kimmelman's extensive experience as an educator coupled with his understanding of policymaking and research allow him to transcend the silos that too often constrain thinking about these issues."
"Kimmelman takes a positive view on NCLB, and his writing assumes a 'make no excuses' tone. He believes educators should stop expending time and effort debating NCLB and concentrate their efforts on raising student achievement levels."
