Culturally responsive educational systems are grounded in the belief that culturally and linguistically diverse students can excel in academic endeavors. Leaders at all levels require knowledge of professional development design, the change process, research findings, data-supported decision making, and an array of leadership and communication skills and processes.

Focus groups are an effective means of collecting qualitative information that can be used to guide improvement planning and efforts. Building Leadership Teams can use focus groups to find out almost anything about the climate, day-to-day operations, and individual perceptions of the school. Conducting focus group can help in developing a comprehensive... - 1/1/08 - National Center for Culturally Responsive Educational Systems,
Culturally responsive pedagogy and practice facilitates and supports the achievement of all students. In a culturally responsive classrooms and schools, effective teaching and learning occur in a culturally-supported, learner-centered context, whereby the strengths students bring to school are identified, nurtured, and utilized to promote student achievement. - 1/1/10 - Mulligan, Elaine, Kozeski, Elizabeth B., Equity Alliance at ASU

Inclusion is receiving lots of attention, both in school districts across the country and in the popular media. Most of that attention is focused on how inclusion affects the students with disabilities. But what about the students who don’t have disabilities? - 1/1/06 - Phil Ferguson, Rick Blumberg, Equity Alliance at ASU
One way to evaluate the effectiveness of transition services for students with disabilities is to take a look at the outcomes students are achieving. The purpose of this report is to present some important statistics that reveal how students with disabilities appear to be faring; to identify some strategies that appear to result in desirable outcomes; and to suggest some resources for further information about this topic. - 1/1/10 - U.S. Department of Education,
"This blueprint builds on the significant reforms already made in response to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 around four areas: (1) Improving teacher and principal effectiveness to ensure that every classroom has a great teacher and every school has a great leader; (2) Providing information to families to help them evaluate and improve their children’s schools, and to educators to help them improve their students’ learning; (3) Implementing college- and career-ready... - 1/1/09 - Kay Wijekumar, John Hitchcock, Herb Turner, PuiWa Lei, Kyle Peck
"This study was the first randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of Odyssey Math on student achievement. The study had the statistical power needed to detect a 0.20 effect size and was well designed in that comparable groups were created at baseline and maintained through posttesting. Implementation during the school year was documented and shown to be consistent with typical implementation of the Odyssey Math software. The results from the multilevel model with pretest covariates... - 1/1/06 - Johnstone, C., Altman, J., Thurlow, M., Thompson, S. J.
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) requires the reporting of participation in assessments overall and by subgroup, including students with disabilities. As states and school districts strive to meet the goals for adequate yearly progress required by NCLB, the use of individual accommodations continues to be scrutinized for effectiveness, threats to test validity, and score comparability. This report summarizes 49 empirical research studies completed on test accommodations between... - 1/1/09 - Raegen Miller
"Past initiatives to improve teacher quality offer two general lessons. First, simplistic responses—across-the-board raises, more stringent licensure requirements, mandated professional development—are extremely expensive, utterly ineffective, or both. Only policies that tightly link incentives to desired results stand a chance of being effective and affordable. Clearly, making such links requires a robust approach to assessing teachers’ impact on outcomes of interest, especially... - 1/1/09 - Laura Goe
"As the federal education focus shifts from highly qualified teachers to highly effective teachers, a systemic approach to recruiting, supporting, and evaluating teachers is necessary to ensure that all students have access to highly effective teachers." - 1/1/10 - Michael F. Petrilli, Janie Scull
"In this report, we identify public schools whose doors are effectively closed to poor children. These institutions—generally found in wealthy urban enclaves or well-heeled suburbs—educate many of the children of America’s elite while proudly waving the “public school” flag. But they hardly embody the “common school” ideal. In fact, by exclusively serving well-off children, they are arguably more private—certainly more exclusive—than many elite private schools, which, after... - 1/1/08 - Goe, E., Bell, C., Little, O.
This research synthesis examines how teacher effectiveness is currently measured and provides practical guidance for how best to evaluate teacher effectiveness. It evaluates the research on teacher effectiveness and the different instruments used to measure it. In addition, it defines the components and indicators that characterize effective teachers, extending this definition beyond teachers' contribution to student achievement gains to include how teachers impact classrooms, schools, and... - Riccomini, P., Bost, L.W. , Katsiyannis, A., Zhang, D.
This Practice Brief based on the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) supported work by The What Works In Transition Synthesis Center, The Effects of Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions on Dropout for Youth with Disabilities (Cobb, Sample, Alwell, & Johns, 2005), provides educators with a conceptual understanding and technical information to assist in implementing cognitive-behavioral interventions that reduce aggressive behaviors in students.
