Description
The Keys to Excellence in Your Schools is a survey instrument developed by the National Education Association to transform the teaching profession and schools. The NEA(National Education Association) identified 35 factors essential to effective schools and clustered these factors in to five domains: shared understanding and commitment to goals; open communication and collaborative problem solving; continuous assessment for teaching and learning; personal and professional learning; and resources to support teaching and learning. Schools complete the instrument and receive feedback for the purposes of action research, professional development, and organizational learning-all within the framework of continuous quality improvement. The chapters align with the five domains measured with the KEYS instrument and provide readers with the research and theory underlying each of the five KEYS. The book gathers together the top names in each of the five areas to create an integral resource for school reform
