Comment les sciences de l'éducation peuvent-elles contribuer efficacement au nécessaire mouvement de transformation de l'école ? C'est à cette problématique fondamentale que Michael Huberman a consacré une part majeure de son œuvre, en jetant les bases d'une approche rigoureuse et engagée des conditions de mise en place des innovations scolaires. Construit sur la base d'un colloque scientifique réalisé en hommage à ce grand pédagogue trop tôt disparu, cet ouvrage propose un ensemble de réflexions et d'études empiriques qui s'inscrivent dans le prolongement de l'approche d'Huberman et qui en montrent la pertinence, la fécondité et la brûlante actualité. Il analyse d'une part les facteurs d'ordre politique, économique et socioculturel qui doivent être pris en compte dans la conception et la gestion des transformations structurelles et fonctionnelles des établissements scolaires....

C'est à cette problématique fondamentale que Michael Huberman a consacré une part majeure de son œuvre, en jetant les bases d'une approche rigoureuse et engagée des conditions de mise en place des innovations scolaires. Construit sur la base d'un colloque scientifique réalisé en hommage à ce grand pédagogue trop tôt disparu, cet ouvrage propose un ensemble de réflexions et d'études empiriques qui s'inscrivent dans le prolongement de l'approche d'Huberman et qui en montrent la pertinence, la fécondité et la brûlante actualité. Il analyse d'une part les facteurs d'ordre politique, économique et socioculturel qui doivent être pris en compte dans la conception et la gestion des transformations structurelles et fonctionnelles des établissements scolaires. Il rend compte d'autre part de diverses expériences d'intervention sur les programmes, les méthodes et les pratiques didactiques, qui font apparaître certaines des conditions qu'il convient de remplir pour que les innovations soient véritablement prises en charge par les acteurs et présentent en conséquence un caractère durable. Il évoque encore, enfin, face aux tentatives de mondialisation et de dérégulation de l'éducation, les possibilités de mise en place de démarches de formation à l'échelle de groupes sociaux ou de régions, qui soient innovantes, démocratiques et respectueuses des identités sociales et culturelles. Cet ouvrage s'adresse donc à tous ceux qui sont concernés par les problématiques d'adaptation et de transformation de l'école : les responsables politiques et éducatifs, les parents, les enseignants, et bien sûr, les formateurs d'enseignants et les étudiants et chercheurs en sciences de l'éducation.

How can a school become a place where all members of the staff are learning, growing, and working to increase student achievement? The answer lies in systems thinking and a focus on continuous improvement, two concepts that can transform staff development from something that people merely tolerate to something that they actively pursue to create lasting improvements in teaching and learning. Each chapter of Transforming Schools: Creating a Culture of Continuous Improvement is grounded in a set of operating principles that provide practical guidance to school leaders. The story of a fictional school brings the ideas to life as the characters-a school principal, teachers, and district-level administrators-experience the shifts in thinking that are necessary to transform a school into a competent system. Through their story, the reader gains a clear understanding of the six steps of continuous improvement: 1. Identify core beliefs. 2. Create a shared vision. 3. Use data to determine gaps between the current reality and the shared vision. 4. Identify the innovations that will most likely close the gaps. 5. Develop and implement an action plan. 6. Endorse collective accountability. Thoughtful analysis of the fictional dialogue throughout the book gives readers an understanding of the dynamic nature of change, systems thinking, and continuous improvement. And questions at the end of each chapter help readers apply key concepts to their own schools. Whether your school improvement goals are clearly defined or still in development, Transforming Schools will help you tackle the many challenges of the change process.

The call-to-arms to "leave no child behind" in America has become popularly associated with the Bush administration's education plan-a plan that actually diverges greatly from the ideals of the Children's Defense Fund, which originated the concept. Here, in a bold and engaging new book, Dr. James Comer reclaims this now-famous exhortation as a tool for positive and substantive change. Far removed from the federal government's focus on standardized testing as the panacea for our educational ills, Dr. Comer's argument-drawn from his own experiences as the creator of the School Development Program-urges teachers, policymakers, and parents alike to work toward creating a new kind of school environment. In so doing, Dr. Comer reignites a crucial debate as he details the evolution and many successes of his School Development Program since its inception thirty-five years ago, and he illustrates how his model for change has proven effective in public schools throughout the country. Most important, he offers proof that students from all backgrounds can learn at a high level, adopt positive behavioral attitudes, and prepare for a fulfilling adult life, if they learn in schools that provide adequate support for their complete development--schools that know that leaving no child behind should be much more than just a convenient political slogan.
