This paper describes an effective governance operating model that would encourage achieving enhanced good governance during the overall working of open and distance learning (ODL) institutions. The operating model is proposed to be comprised of three layers of network, namely the organisational design and governance system which include…

Experts have heralded domain-specific play-based curricula coupled with regular coaching and training as our "strongest hope" for improving instructional quality in large-scale public preschool programs. Yet, details from different evaluations of the strongest hope model are not systematically compiled, making it difficult to identify…

This article describes how one very large, diverse school district developed a Student Acuity Tool for School Nurse Assignment and used a logic model to successfully advocate for additional school nurse positions.
