In July 1966, "The Equal Educational Opportunity Survey" by J.S. Coleman, et al, was published.
The Coleman report concluded that family background, not the school, was the major determinant of student achievement.
School Effectiveness :Origins
![Page 4: Professor Alma Harris University of London. School Effectiveness Teacher Effectiveness Discussion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551aa6fc550346761a8b63a4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The creation of "compensatory education" programs "taught low-income children to learn in ways that conformed to most schools’ preferred ways of teaching."
These programs focused on changing students’ behavior in order to compensate for their disadvantaged backgrounds and made no effort to change school behavior.
Implications

By lending official credence to the notion that "schools didn’t make a difference" in predicting student achievement, the report stimulated a vigorous reaction, instigating many of the studies that would later come to define the research base for the Effective Schools Movement.
Other Implications

While schools may be primarily responsible for whether or not students function adequately in school, the family is probably critical in determining whether or not students flourish in school."
Edmonds (1982)

To identify existing effective schools – schools that were successful in educating all students regardless of their socioeconomic status or family background.
The common characteristics among these effective schools. In other words, what philosophy, policies, and practices did these schools have in common?
Initial Tasks
![Page 8: Professor Alma Harris University of London. School Effectiveness Teacher Effectiveness Discussion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551aa6fc550346761a8b63a4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Schools in which students were mastering the curriculum at a higher rate and to a higher level than would he predicted based on students’ family background, gender, and racial and ethnic identification. (Excellence)
Schools that narrowed the achievement gap between students from low socioeconomic and high socioeconomic backgrounds narrowed. (Equity)
Identifying Effective Schools

Strong, positivist, quantitative orientation
Critics focused on identification of ‘effective schools’ and ‘applied’ nature of research v blue skies or pure research
Effectiveness Tradition

These unusually effective schools were found to possess a set of common characteristics, called “correlates.”
The correlates have been shown to be as essential for equitable effectiveness today as they were thirty years ago and thus are building blocks used in the Effective Schools model.

In 1979, Fifteen Thousand Hours documented effective schools research in high schools in the United Kingdom, and found that school characteristics could positively alter student achievement

Instructional leadership. Clear and focused mission. Safe and orderly environment. Climate of high expectations. Frequent monitoring of student progress. Positive home-school relations. Opportunity to learn and student time on
task.

Many factors that make for good schools are conceptually quite similar in countries that have widely different cultural, social and economic contexts (Reynolds, (2011)
Generalisation

So what about less effective schools?
![Page 20: Professor Alma Harris University of London. School Effectiveness Teacher Effectiveness Discussion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551aa6fc550346761a8b63a4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Belief that change is for other people Past methods are fine Reluctance to try new things Blaming of factors external to the school Teachers believe there is little they can do Personality clashes, dysfunctional
relatiosnships Unwillingness to face the ‘brutal facts’
Ineffective Schools (Reynolds 1991)

All children can learn and come to school motivated to do so
Schools control enough of the variables to assure that virtually all students do learn
Schools should be held accountable for measured student achievement

Less research than the school level American tradition stopped UK research limited
Why Less Focus on Teaching – More Talk Than Research
![Page 24: Professor Alma Harris University of London. School Effectiveness Teacher Effectiveness Discussion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551aa6fc550346761a8b63a4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The view that it is innate / artistry School effectiveness research
Why No Science or Technology of Teaching?
