Scott O'Neill and Lincoln Elementary School: Preventing a Slide from Good to Worse
Salmonowicz, Michael J.
Journal of Cases in Educational Leadership, v10 n2 p28-37 2007
This case was developed for use in courses on the study of organizations, with a focus on school administration and supervision. It focuses on the challenges--most notably, changing demographics and a resistant faculty--faced by a new principal whose school has a record of success but is in danger of sliding into mediocrity. Varied data are presented about the school and its students, the district, and the community. Students must analyze the data and begin to develop a plan for working in a new leadership role to improve instruction, student performance, and school culture. (Contains 3 tables and 1 note.)
Descriptors: School Culture, School Administration, Educational Change, Principals, Case Method (Teaching Technique), Organizational Change, Instructional Leadership, Accountability, Organizational Theories, Leadership Effectiveness
