Beskrivelse
It's one thing to go to school. It's another to get an education.Now more than ever, it's vital for all kids to have an excellent education. Students who get shafted educationally also tend to come from communities where opportunities are scarce, economic development is stalled, and investments in their future are deemed too risky. Student Centered School Improvement is about the inequality of education in certain communities. And what happens to communities when our schools are struggling?Kids sitting in struggling schools today are missing their only shot at elementary, middle, or high school. If we stick to our current way of identifying schools for improvement, based on four or 5-year cycles, entire generations of kids lose their opportunity to get an education. This book urges readers to reconsider our approach to school improvement and move to one that doesn't wait to act until a school has struggled for years. Readers with any interest in the public education system, from policymakers to practitioners to parents, will find useful hands-on tools to use to identify schools before they need comprehensive improvement and, more importantly, align key components of our education system to get schools back on track before another generation of students is impacted for their entire lives.Inspired by conversations with students, families, and education leaders, this book bridges research, emerging solutions, and original thinking to guide you in creating a system for your student's future, regardless of background or zip code.
