Source:http://www.centerii.org/survey/downloads/Breaki...
Date:2009
Organization:Center on Innovation and Improvement
Short Description:This report provides five brief profiles of schools that dramatically improved student performance and successfully restructured under federal accountability systems. Three of the five districts replaced the principal, one replaced targeted staff, and one hired additional staff to support the improvement efforts.
Annotation:This report provides five brief profiles of schools that dramatically improved student performance and successfully restructured under federal accountability systems. Three of the five districts replaced the principal, one replaced targeted staff, and one hired additional staff to support the improvement efforts. The report outlines the steps school leaders—administrators and teachers—took to improve student achievement. While different approaches were used in each school, principals played a primary role in creating a vision and securing buy-in and active participation from the rest of the faculty including teachers.
