This Open Access book features a school development model (Arizona Initiative for Leadership Development and Research - AZiLDR) that offers a roadmap for schools to navigate the complexities of continuous school development. Filled with processes that balance evidence-based values with democratic, culturally responsive values, this book offers strategies to mediate the tensions and to address school culture, context and values, leadership capacity, using data as a source of reflection, curricular and pedagogical activity, and strengths-based approaches to meeting the needs of culturally diverse students. You will find:
- - Active, reflective activities
- - Case studies illustrating each concept
- - The research base supporting each concept
- - Descriptions of processes from other contexts (South Carolina, Germany, Australia, Sweden)
- - Thoughts about next steps for contextually sensitive and multi-level school development- - Suggestions for cross-national dialogue and research within the Zone of Uncertainty
Use this ideal source to guide school leadership teams in creating productive schools that continually grow!
Lynnette A. Brunderman has worked in the Department of Educational Policy Studies and Practice at the University of Arizona since 2008, where she coordinated the certification and Master's programs in Educational Leadership. She went to the University after serving over thirty years in the public school system, both as a teacher, school principal and district administrator. She led her school to A+ recognition in the state of Arizona. With Rose Ylimaki and Jeffrey Bennett, she began the Arizona Initiative for Leadership Development and Research (AZiLDR), creating and delivering a school development project designed to increase the school's leadership capacity, leading to improved student learning outcomes. Documented in journal articles co-authored with Ylimaki and Bennett, the project has been featured in Educational Administration Quarterly, Journal of School Leadership and Journal for Educational Change, among others. Currently, Brunderman stays active in the field through her leadership and participation in accreditation engagement reviews with Cognia(TM) and her work with the Arizona School Administrators organization. As the oldest of six children, Brunderman learned early to not take herself too seriously, and is able to laugh at herself. She enjoys reading, sewing, and travel.
