Excerpt from Improving Schools by Standardized Tests Among the more recent ideas there are some that seem pregnant with tremendous possibilities for the improve ment of educational procedure. The most far-reaching in its beneficial possibilities seems to me to be the idea Of measuring the results of teaching and the intelligence of school children by means Of standardized tests. Of large importance also are: The Socialized Recitation, Supervised Study, Teaching Children how to Study, The project-problem Method in Teaching, and the change Of emphasis from oral to silent reading. All these things are rich with promise of greater efficiency in education. But although all the above-mentioned ideas have proved successful, when carried out by trained men and women full Of enthusiasm and thoroughly under standing the psychological principles upon which the ideas were based, nevertheless, when the carrying-out of these same ideas has been attempted by persons lacking in sympathy and full understanding of the principles, aims, and methods involved, they have Often been far from successful. Superintendents and teachers who condemn these ideas, after proving to their own satisfaction that they are worth less, remind me Of the first farmer in the town Of my boy hood to purchase a mowing machine. For a great many years this man had mowed his many rough and rather rocky acres by hand with the help Of a large crew Of hired men. But one spring the mowing-machine agent appeared in our town and as a result, by the time hay was ready to be cut, the farmer found himself possessed Of a brand-new mowing machine, resplendent in green, yellow, and red. The next morning he started out to mow the back field. Truly his trials that day were many. And when the machine, unable to stand any more Of his inexpert han dling, broke down late in the afternoon, he had succeeded in getting over only about as much ground as one good man with scythe and snath could have mowed in the same length of time. And what an untidy-looking job it was! The next day the farmer started his Old crew to mowing by hand. N 0 more Of that mowing machine for him. He could do more and better work in a day alone than could a man with a pair Of horses and a mowing machine. The mowing machine was a failure. He knew because he had tried it. But did this farmer's experience with his new mowing machine prove the failure Of the machine or the failure Of the man? The mowing machine, we know, will do good and rapid work in astonishingly rough and rocky ground when guided by a practiced hand.

Make data work for your school—and for every student Far too often, educators are inundated with data that feels overwhelming, irrelevant, or unhelpful. In Using Data to Improve Schools, nationally recognized expert on school transformation and student achievement Elaine Allensworth offers a framework for understanding the critical properties of data and the tools educators need to focus on the metrics that matter most for student achievement. Rooted in two decades of research on educational policy and practice and real-world success stories from Chicago Public Schools, this groundbreaking guide bridges the gap between theory and practice, helping educators build a culture of data-driven collaboration and success. Topics covered include Common myths and assumptions that divert attention from the data that matter most Guidance on using systems for continuous improvement such as Early Warning Indicator (EWI) and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) Tools to align teachers, families, and staff around a shared vision and strategies that build trust and momentum for sustainable growth Allensworth clearly outlines how schools can improve key performance areas—like attendance, test scores, and graduation rates—by identifying high-impact metrics and fostering a collaborative culture of improvement. By simplifying complex concepts and offering tools for effective collaboration, this guide inspires educators to turn numbers into positive change.

Improving Schools for African American Students is designed to provide educational leaders with a better understanding of how to recognize the diversity of strengths that Black students bring with them to school and how to use these strengths to improve achievement. The articles contained in this book discuss generic education issues such as policy reform, the importance of high quality teaching, and the improvement of schools from the perspective of the academic achievement of African American students. Part I explores institutional racism in the context of America's public schools and provides suggestions for educational leaders to eliminate harmful policies and practices within educational institutions and settings. Part II discusses the kinds of institutional and instructional changes that are needed to support successful schooling of African American children and youth. Part III focuses on the challenges presented to African American students by the current high stakes testing environment that surrounds standards, assessment, and accountability. A review of the literature on schools that have succeeded in improving achievement for African American students at the elementary, middle, and high school levels with districts moving towards narrowing the achievement gap is included. This text examines a wide variety of policies, programs, practices, and research that will provide valuable insight. The emphasis throughout the book is on the ability of educators to successfully restructure their schools, offer high quality teaching and learning standards for African American students and to make the kinds of changes that will result in high achievement for all students.
