Evidence-Based School Development in Changing Demographic Contexts

by Rose M. Ylimaki (editor), Lynnette A. Brunderman (Editor)

This Open Access book features a school development model (Arizona Initiative for Leadership Development and Research – AZiLDR) that offers a roadmap for schools to navigate the complexities of continuous school development. Filled with processes that balance evidence-based values with democratic, culturally responsive values, this book offers strategies to mediate the tensions and to address school culture, context and values, leadership capacity, using data as a source of reflection, curricular and pedagogical activity, and strengths-based approaches to meeting the needs of culturally diverse students. You will



·       -  Active, reflective activities



·        -  Case studies illustrating each concept



·        - The research base supporting each concept



·        -  Descriptions of processes from other contexts (South Carolina, Germany, Australia, Sweden)



·        -  Thoughts about next steps for contextually sensitive and multi-level school development



·       -   Suggestions for cross-national dialogue and research within the Zone of Uncertainty



Use this ideal source to guide school leadership teams in creating productive schools that continually grow!
