Synopsis
"An excellent resource for administrators at all levels within the school system." Charles S. Michel, Assistant Principal, Katy High School, Texas "At last - a book that puts together the pieces needed for school reform. Details best practices to meet the challenges of systemic change." Steve Johnson, Director, Career/Tech and Community Education Programs, College Station Independent School District, Texas "Practical, successful, research-based suggestions to accomplish our national goals. A must-have on every educator′s bookshelf to prepare our children for the 21st century!" Claudia Iselt, Principal, Westwood Elementary School, Houston, Texas Here are the tools you need to start or refurbish your school′s efforts to meet Goals 2000. High Expectations offers a blueprint for helping your school and your students achieve higher standards. It provides you, as a school leader, with action strategies for beginning (or revisiting) your school′s reform efforts. The authors begin with an overview of education reform movements over the past 50 years. They discuss the establishment of eight education goals to encourage lifelong learning, which were acted into law as Goals 2000. Each chapter first reviews one of the eight goals, then discusses specific ways you can implement the goal in your school. You′ll find the framework for specific, proven strategies you can use to make needed changes. Chapter-end bibliographies are a handy reference to additional resources. A valuable resource for all school leaders interested in raising the levels of learning, teaching, and leadership in their schools.
