      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."

Funding Comprehensive School Reform - 0 views

  • This new approach, comprehensive school reform, takes an integrated view of the reform process. It is based on the concept that the way to successfully improve school performance is to simultaneously change all elements of a school's operating environment so as to bring each element into alignment with a central, guiding vision.
  • The success of comprehensive school reform depends on careful planning of school and district resource commitments. Unlike traditional reform efforts, comprehensive reform is not easily funded through a small increase in a school's operating budget.
