What Do You Think About Chicago's Schools?
What are you looking for in a • school?
How do you know if a school is • good?
Who are the people in a school • that you rely on for information?
What information about a • school is most important to you?
WORK-SHOP2EDUCATION
&COMMUNITYBUILDING
Defining aSchoolElizabeth EvansNew Voice Strategies
Why is Public Education So Complicated?We have lots of measures of "success" • but we don't really agree on what "success" means
Although we all think of public • education as "local responsibility" there are layers of "deciders"
The way we fund public schools • makes it hard for each student, or even a school building, to get the ideal amount of money for their education
Strings attached to most of the money • and "entitlement" requirements tie the districts' hands
Measuring Success... A School is NOT a Building, It's a Learning Community
What is a Learning Community?
• A combination of people, content (curriculum), expectations and student achievement;
• We need to defi ne, set goals and evaluate how the parts add up to the whole
Measuring Success... A School is NOT a Building, It's a Learning Community
Attitude towards learning = • School Culture
The whole informs & creates school • culture
• The work & accomplishments of students, parents, teachers, principals & other adults in the school
• The rigor of the content
• The relevance of the school's activities to future job markets for students and current conditions in communities where the schools operate
University of Chicago developed a • framework to both evaluate a school's performance and turn-around under performing schools
How Do We Quantify School Culture?

How Schools WorkElizabeth Evans, New Voice StrategiesMark Larson, National Louis University LaTonya Maxwell, University of Chicago
The Five Essential Supports
School Leadership• Professional Capacity• Student-Centered Learning• Instructional Guidance• Communities Ties•
School Leadership Principals are catalytic agents for • systemic improvement in their building
• The "mission control" for a school
They are the guides who keep • everyone's eyes on the prize: student learning and great teaching
A principal makes sure that all adults • understand, agree on and work together on the schools' learning culture
Principals support teachers by working • for:
• Curriculum is consistent between classrooms/grades • Teachers agree on expectations for students' work
Student-Centered Learning Compliance
Student-Centered Learning ComplianceStrategic Compliance: • Work is meaningful only insofar as it accomplishes some manufactured end: grade, GPA, etc.
Student-Centered Learning ComplianceStrategic Compliance: • Work is meaningful only insofar as it accomplishes some manufactured end: grade, GPA, etc.
Ritual Compliance: • Work has no meaning to students and is not connected to what does have meaning. Emphasis on minimums. How do I get this over with?

Student Centered Learning: RelevanceRelationship of School Climate Measures with Course Absences
Instructional GuidanceTeachers get information about • students' work from:
Formative Assessments Quick Writes Quizzes Oral Feedback Exit Slips Slates Group Work
Principals make sure that:•
Curriculum is consistent between classrooms/grades Teachers agree on expectations for students' work
Professional CapacitySustaining Excellence
Teachers participate in Personal • Learning Networks: online, Teacher Talk, teaming (curriculum that cuts across subjects)
Common Language•
Draw on Community Resources•
Support for teacher learning • (Professional Development)
Parents are the most important partner • for a school
Parents must be welcome in the school•
• Parents must buy into the educational goals set by the school
• Schools have to have deliberate strategies for making this happen
Schools must work with a student's • support network
Community TiesSchools Must Include Parents And Families
• Schools must forge relationships with local businesses, community groups and parks to arrange for more resources for students and their families
• School's eff orts to engage parents and partners & provide opportunities for them to work in the school
Community TiesSchools Must Involve The Community
