See the Connections? Addressing Leadership and Supervision Challenges to Support Improved Student Achievement in a Small Rural School
Hartman, Jenifer J.
Journal of Cases in Educational Leadership, v21 n3 p36-47 Sep 2018
This case study was developed for educational leadership courses addressing supervision and school improvement. Various data are presented for students to analyze and identify key concerns at a low-performing, rural, racially diverse, K-8 school. It challenges leadership candidates to recognize interrelated problems and solutions in a school. Students are asked to prioritize responses to issues of changing school leadership, professional development to address teacher expectations, English Language Arts achievement, instructional and disciplinary practices, student behaviors and attendance, and parent engagement practices. They will develop a specific schoolwide professional development plan within an overall School Improvement Plan to address these concerns.
