DOWNLOAD EBOOK"One constant finding in the research literature is that notable improvements in education almost never take place in the absence of professional development. What continues to perplex many educational leaders is how to organize and structure meaningful learning opportunities for teachers. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to examine a high school's collaborative planning PLC initiative in an effort to learn more about this method of job-embedded professional development and gain insight about the effective working of PLCs in a high school setting. The case study involved a close examination of three professional learning communities at one high school. The case school was selected because the school had experienced success with their collaborative planning PLCs as a means of professional development. Twelve teachers were interviewed as well as seven non-teacher participants. Observations of PLC collaborative planning sessions were conducted as well as a thorough analysis of collaborative planning guides completed since the onset of the initiative. The goal of this study was to deepen my understanding of this job-embedded professional development approach and the implications for practice for others considering implementing similar initiatives."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn Strategic Change in Colleges and Universities, the Rowley, Lujan, and Dolence show how the strategic planning process can lead to more constructive and effective change within the college and university environment. Solidly grounded in theory, this practical book builds on the authors' experience of successfully implementing an original strategic planning approach on a variety of campuses in the United States and Canada. This powerful model works well in the wide range of higher educational settings, provides a consistent framework that unifies all levels involved, and is effective in keeping diverse groups of decision-makers focused on the most important elements of the organization's success.The authors outline, step by step, a strategic planning process that is uniquely tailored to the needs of academic settings where multiple constituencies require a more collaborative planning approach than is used in corporations. Strategic Change in Colleges and Universities is filled with illustrative examples that clearly show how the authors' strategic planning principles, which they describe as a ?strategic planning engine,? work in practice. The book also discloses practical and realistic methods of navigating the political land mines that often obstruct the development of a strategic plan and its implementation. Offering clear directions on the many components of a successful implementation strategy, the authors show how to encourage communication, gain the backing of top leaders, and develop campuswide support. This collaborative model of strategic planning which (unlike other approaches used in academe) results in rather than starts from the institution's mission statement. Each campus applies the same principles, developing its own method of planning to match its institution's particular needs and characteristics.Strategic Change in Colleges and Universities is written for those charged with strategic planning--presidents, chancellors, vice presidents, Details a strategic planning approach that has proved effective in institutions across the country. The authors address the complex nature of stakeholders and conflicting purposes in an academic setting.
