The Enduring Fundamentals of Effective Schools: The Correlates
June 28, 1:45 – 4:15pm, Room: Union C Effective schools are more alike than they are different. They share fundamental characteristics that have come to be known as the Correlates of Effective Schools. Every successful school reform effort, today and throughout the past 3 decades, has resulted from the effective implementation of these 7 critical principles. Most successful schools create empowered, collaborative teams around these critical principles and their leadership produces significant improvement in student learning. Dr. Lezotte will offer you an overview of all seven correlates and a recommended action plan for going forward in your school or district.
