Re-Envisioning the Correlates
“ This comprehensive discussion of effective schooling updates the knowledge base regarding school reform in a fashion that is both engaging and immediately actionable. Practitioners and researchers should find the work of Lezotte and Snyder equally as useful.” —Robert J. Marzano, chief executive officer, Marzano Research Laboratory, Denver, Colorado
Developed from groundbreaking research, the seven correlates of effective schools remain powerful indicators of successful places where all children learn, regardless of socioeconomic status or ethnicity. What Effective Schools Do examines the correlates in light of current trends, research, and practice in education. The authors show how to implement a continuous school improvement system and provide a comprehensive description of best practices that have been proven to work through decades of school reform movements. Taken together, the correlates are more than just theory; they are what effective schools do. What Effective Schools Do will help educators:
• Use the correlates as leading indicators of learning. • Create a data dashboard for monitoring results. • Implement the correlates in a systematic way to achieve ongoing school improvement.
• Understand the historical, political, and conceptual development of the effective schools concept.
