Abstract | This paper presents information to be used by school-leadership teams engaged in the development of school-improvement plans. It reviews recent literature on shared leadership and collaborative schools, school-improvement teams, school culture, and effective schools/positive learning environments. The paper also identifies school-level and class-level characteristics of effective schools. The Positive Attitudes in Tennessee Schools (PATS) program, implemented in 1989 as part of the school-decentralization movement in Tennessee, is also described. The program seeks to build school capacities for transforming learning environments through regular and systemic assessments and school-leadership teams. The school-climate audits are used to identify and strengthen or modify school-climate dimensions. (Contains 66 references.) (LMI) |
