Design-Based School Improvement: A Practical Guide for Education Leaders
Design-Based School Improvement: A Practical Guide for Education Leaders
At the heart of the effort to enact and scale up successful school reforms is the need for more robust links between research and practice. One promising approach is design development, a methodology widely used in other fields and only recently adapted to education, which offers a disciplined process for identifying practical problems, assessing evidence of outcomes, accounting for variability in implementation and results, and establishing a foundation for broader understanding of the problem and proposed solutions. This exciting new book provides a practical guide for education leaders who are seeking to address issues of equity in their schools and want to pursue this approach. The book provides a step-by-step description of the process, augmented by case studies of four education leaders:
- Christine, a middle school principal who is concerned with the volume of disciplinary referrals in her school;
- Michelle, an elementary school principal who wants to address achievement gaps;
- Eric, an assistant superintendent who wants to improve the quality of principals' instructional feedback to teachers; and
- Nora, a high school principal who is concerned about the use of racial and homophobic slurs in the hallways.
