Leadership Articles, Publications and Working Documents for the September 2005 Forum

When we gather in Columbus, we will work on our adaptive leadership strategies by “working the case” of data in Ohio. This fall, every superintendent, principal, teacher, and parent in Ohio will receive a new report on student performance data. Further, Ohio is moving toward a value-added assessment system. We will think together, along with a superintendent leader from Tennessee, about what leadership challenges may arise.

Please be sure to bring all of these materials to the Forum!

He’s Got Your Number, David Hill, Education Week, 2000 is offered as a deep background piece on value-added assessment.

Certification/Licensure: Pros & Cons, published by The Education Commission of the States, is a basic backgrounder focused on assessing teacher effectiveness.
