School Administrators' Efficacy: A Model and Measure - 0 views

  •  
    "The efficacy construct refers to peoples' beliefs about and confidence in their abilities to attain success in their actions. The purpose of this research is to advance the study of school administrators' efficacy through a unique model and measure designed to target the confidence of school administrators in performing a variety of leadership/management tasks. An instrument was created to measure school administrators' efficacy levels, based on the Educational Leadership Constituent Council (ELCC) Standards. A sample of 367 early career principals and principal trainees was surveyed. Through factor analysis, eight dimensions of school administrator efficacy were derived. Based on Cronbach's Alpha, the instrument has high reliability; thus, this instrument can serve as a consistent tool in evaluating school administrators' efficacy levels."

Flexible Grouping, Catherine Valentino - 0 views

  • One of the benefits of student-led groups is that they model "real-life" adult situations in which people work together, not in isolation, to solve problems. Students working in groups learn to work with people from varying backgrounds and with different experiences, sharpening social skills and developing a sense of confidence in their own abilities.

    "Teachers are discovering that informally grouping and regrouping students in a variety of ways throughout the school day can make a teacher's job easier and students more productive. This teaching strategy is called flexible grouping. "

Why do we need to collaboratively examine student work? - 0 views

  • It is also important that teachers articulate vertically to make sure their instructional program is aligned and increases rigor as the students advance grades.
  • Teams of teachers must regularly meet to examine student work and reach consensus on what proficient performance looks like at their grade level.

      One of our buildings is using Team Tuesdays. The first Tuesday is to be talk about lesson planning, another is about Learning Focused Schools implementation, another is about student work and the fourth is about data analysis. At times, a school support person attends too (literacy coach, instructional support teacher, me).
  • Drastically reduce the routine of meetings, reports and other administrative activities that take time and energy away from these essential dialogues

    "Principals play a critical role in setting the expectation that planning and examining student work and performance data should be an ongoing, collaborative process."

NSDC: JSD / Newsletters / Blogs - Results - 0 views

  • This experience left me convinced that examining student work and discussing implications for teaching are among the most powerful kinds of adult learning in which we can engage. I would suggest that there is no better way to focus adults in the schools on student results. Set aside time for the examination of student work and consider these suggestions.
