Notice the number of times that data and evidence appear in NCCRESt’s principles. Saying that teachers, families and administrators need data to make decisions is one thing, understanding and using data well is another. In fact, few teachers and administrators have been educated in programs that have focused on making meaning from data and then using those analyses to guide school improvement and classroom instruction. This module is designed to help building leadership teams learn the... - 1/1/09 - Kozeski, Elizabeth B., Equity Alliance at ASU
"In 2000, Professor Geneva Gay wrote that culturally responsive teaching connects students’ cultural knowledge, prior experiences, and performance styles to academic knowledge and intellectual tools in ways that legitimize what students already know. By embracing the sociocultural realities and histories of students through what is taught and how, culturally responsive teachers negotiate classrooms cultures with their students that reflect the communities where students develop and grow... - 1/1/04 - National Institute for Urban School Improvement,
This module was designed by National Institute for Urban School Improvement (NIUSI) to help building leadership teams learn the skills required to mine data and use it to make decisions. As principals and teacher leaders become confident in their ability to query their data, they will become strong role models and coaches for the entire faculty. This module takes a serious look at understanding and using data and other evidence of student performance to improve student learning. Participants... - 1/1/05 - National Institute for Urban School Improvement,
Conducting sound assessments is a necessary part of exemplary teaching. Assessments not only evaluate student learning, they serve to guide subsequent instruction. This module looks at the construction of both quality assessments and student learning outcomes, examines multiple ways to assess learning, explores the use of rubrics for assessing student work, and highlights key elements of performance assessment tasks. - 1/1/06 - Nancy J.

Millions of children historically have failed in American school systems, particularly children of color from urban and rural low socioeconomic status (SES). Schools cannot change poverty or the living conditions of those children, however schools can change ways to reach and teach all children. This exemplar summarizes the High Performance All Students Success Schools Model (HiPass Model), which describes features of highly successful high-poverty elementary schools as documented by Dr. Jim... - 1/1/08 - Donna Ford
According to virtually every report and study focusing on the achievement gap between Black and White students, Black students are under-performing in school settings compared to their White counterparts. Of the more than 16,000 school districts in the U.S., few (if any) can report that no achievement gap exists, that the achievement gap is marginal, or that the gap has been narrowed or closed. Nationally, there is the average of a four-year gap in which Black students at the age of 17... - 1/1/08 - Stiefel, L., Schwartz, A.E., Conger, D.
While previous evidence finds that foreign-born students perform better than native-born students in their elementary and middle school years, policymakers and practitioners continue to raise concerns about educational outcomes of immigrants who come to the United States in their high school years. Are late entering students able to graduate from high school in a timely manner or do they fall behind? How does their success compare to late entering native-born students - that is, migrant... - 1/1/10 - Trish Williams, Michael W.

"This study contributes to the field by identifying a broad range of traditional and newer middle grade policies and practices, and determining in California which of these differentiate higher- from lower-performing schools serving similar student populations, with performance measured by the state’s standards-based tests." - 1/1/09 - Pinkus, L.M.
Success in today’s global and entrepreneurial economy increasingly requires some form of postsecondary education or training. Yet too many students—particularly poor and minority students—leave the K–12 system without the knowledge and skills necessary for success after high school. The long-term implications of an inadequate education have social and economic consequences for individuals, the communities in which they live, and the nation as a whole. The challenge ahead is twofold... - 1/1/09 - Learning First Alliance,
U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan has announced an ambitious goal: Turn around the nation’s lowest-performing schools. For the students, families and communities served by persistently struggling schools, the need to turn things around could hardly be more urgent. Low academic achievement places severe limits on the lifetime opportunities of the overwhelmingly low-income students who attend such schools. Every child has a right to attend an excellent public school that prepares students... - 1/1/09 - Julie Kowal, Emily Ayscue Hassel, Bryan C. Hassel
"States and districts are likely to try a variety of approaches to improve performance, such as contracting with external providers, who often bring in new leadership and staff; closing schools outright and giving students the option to attend nearby, higher performing schools; or bringing in a “turnaround leader” to carry out drastic improvements. This last option is known in other sectors as a “turnaround”effort—a quick, dramatic, and sustained change driven by a highly capable... - 1/1/10 - National Center for Education Statistics,
"This report presents results of the 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in reading at grades 4 and 8. Results for students in the nation, the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Department of Defense schools are reported as average scores and as percentages of students performing at or above three achievement levels: Basic, Proficient, and Advanced. Scores are also reported at selected percentiles, showing changes in the performance of lower-, middle-, and... - 1/1/10 - Chait, Robin, Miller, Raegen
"The paper tackles what we are calling “infrastructure” or the foundation needed for states to use information about teachers,3 such as robust data systems, professional standards for teaching, and rigorous evaluation systems. It then describes how states might better coordinate their policies on evaluation, tenure, and licensure. Finally, it outlines strategies for leveraging the expertise of highly effective teachers, working proactively with moderate performers to improve their... - 1/1/08 - Southeast Comprehensive Center,
William Guenther, president, Mass Insight Education & Research Institute Inc., discusses issues facing low-performing schools and the steps required to improve academic performance. - 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... - 1/1/07 - National Secondary Transition Technical Asssistance Center,
