...administrators a roadmap to help them on the journey to a successful school environment, for all stakeholders involved. Not only do these standards provide guidance for administrators, but the ISLLC standards also “provide guidance to state policymakers as they work to improve education leadership preparation, licensure, evaluation, and professional development” (Council of Chief State School Officers, 2008, p.1). The ISLLC standards address the school vision of learning, the school’s culture and professional growth, a safe, effective and efficient learning environment, collaboration with stakeholders, acting in an ethical manner, and the political, economic, and legal aspect (Council, 2008). The overall purpose of the standards is to set common expectations, maximize student achievement results, and to improve continuing professional development. We have set standards for our students that measure their proficiency in various core subjects, and the level of learning that they are achieving. Because the weight of student achievement, the ISLLC standards give school communities and policymakers the opportunity to outline how effective leadership can be molded. Each of the standards is individually strong, and really leaves a clear and concise measure for administrators to reach for. These standards effect the educational communication greatly. When administrators are held accountable for what happens in the school community, then teachers are held accountable, which...

...had an effect on student achievement. The researcher sought to answer two research questions “Does differentiated instruction have an impact on student achievement?” and “Are there components of differentiated instruction that have a greater impact on student achievement than others?” The study followed a mixed method design and consisted of two parts. First, a quantitative analysis of test scores from the Michigan Education Assessment Program (MEAP) and teacher and student survey results were analyzed as a means to outline broad relationships from the data. Results from the quantitative findings directed the researcher on how to frame the qualitative design. Second, a qualitative analysis of classroom observations and interviews with teachers was conducted. The qualitative portion of this study followed a social interactionism orientation adopted by social interactionism theorist (Blumer, 1969). This approach allowed the researcher to analyze relationships between the differentiation variables. The quantitative data methods of surveys and test scores, qualitative techniques of classroom observations, and teacher interviews were triangulated. Triangulation of data was used to support research findings through independent measures to point to the same conclusions (Webb et al., 1965). The conceptual framework (Hall, 2004) served as the foundation in the identification of the differentiation variables to be studied. The research findings supported the work of learning styles theorists...

...Improving Summer School for At-Risk Students to Improve MAP Achievement H Abstract “Race to the Top” have left public education systems searching for ways to make sure students are reaching their highest potential. Because of the importance of accountability issues to school systems, it is important to examine ways to help students reach their potential. One tool school districts use to aid in improving student achievement is summer school. This qualitative study provides an overview of the history of summer school. Additionally, it offers a synopsis of various types of summer programs and at-risk student populations often targeted by summer school. The researcher also offers a review of literature on student learning loss over the summer months. Summer learning programs have the potential to help children and youth improve their academic and other outcomes. This is especially true for children from low-income families who might not have access to educational resources throughout the summer months and for low-achieving students who need additional time to master academic content. Because many students loose learning over the summer and some students need more time on task to master content, participation in summer learning programs should mitigate learning loss and could even produce achievement gains on standardized test such as MAP. Overview One hundred and fifty Title I-eligible students from Chandler Creek Elementary school will enroll each...

...understand the methods used to effectively educate each student and how they impact student learning. To relay the importance of direct instruction, I would introduce the instructional model as described by the National Institute of Direct Instruction. According to the National Institute of Direct Instruction, “Direct Instruction (DI) is a model for teaching that emphasizes well-developed and carefully planned lessons designed around small learning increments and clearly defined and prescribed teaching tasks (http://www.nifdi.org/).” I would describe how direct instruction is a method of teaching considered most effective by various researchers. I would explain how the direct instruction model utilized in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School system (CMS) allows students to learn more in less time. To demonstrate the direction instruction model, I would provide parents an opportunity to review the lesson plan format (Appendix 1) as prepared by CMS. Parents will be directed to notice how classes are structured to allow for: link to prior learning, teacher modeling, guided practice, independent practice, closure, and student assessments. Each of these items will be broken down using research based information to explain the break down of learning into smaller increments (Appendix 2) for the direct instruction model. Parents will be advised how the link to prior learning is very similar to a review of a students’ background knowledge. This portion should be limited...

...and methods (creative).A proficient teacher has to make sure that both aspects are applied while blending in to the environment. Teaching as a profession has changed over a period of time and so has the role of a teacher. The conventional role of a teacher was to just impart information to students and students were expected to learn and understand it. Now, with extensive research done on how student learn, a new insight has developed and hence the role of teacher has changed. Innumerable learning theories, e.g. Sensory, Kolb’s experiential theory, Skinner’s behaviorist’s theory and the learning domains (Cognitive, Psychomotor, Affective) Gravells (2008),(Behavioral, Cognitive and Humanistic) Roger (1996) have been identified and related to diverse strategies to cope with individual learning styles. On the other hand, Reece and Walker (2006) provides an overview of models of learning indicating that a teacher has to follow different kinds of approaches which suits the students (Appendix 1). Roger (1996) has indicated that these theories have originated from understanding of the major contemporary changes in the culture. They have all focused on active nature of learners (Andragogy); students learn when they are motivated to...
