The Future School- Rome Presentation by: Jeff Myers Brian Trapani Tim McCarthy
Continuum of School Climate- Glasser’s Pupil Control X ---------------------------------------------------------------------------X
Healthy and sick schools- Wayne Hoy and John Tarter created it (its for the school as a whole- all the shareholders) OHI- Organizational Health Inventory- used to measure the health of interpersonal relations among students, teachers, administrators, and community members (OCDQ- measures the openness/closedness of teacher-teacher and principal-teacher interactions Three versions of OHI, elementary, middle school and high school Health occurs on three levels, healthy school has level harmony (p.84) Institutional Level- connects school to community - institutional integrity- teacher are protected from unreasonable community and parental demands Administrative Level- internal management of the school - collegial leadership - principal influence - resource support Teacher Level- concerned with the learning process - teacher affiliation - academic emphasis
Learning Grid Concern for People Productivity Managerial Grid, Mouton and Blake, 1981- now called leadership grid- two dimensional theory, concern for people concern for productivity 1,1 Impoverished Management- leader effort in minimal, enough to maintain employment 9,1 Authority–Obedience- power, authority and control high, human interference low 5,5 Organization Man Management-maintain status quo or middle of the road in productivity and people satisfaction 1,9 Country Club Management- emphasis on needs of people and their satisfaction even if production suffers 9,9 Team Management- goal centered approach through broad involvement, commitment, and conflict resolution
Goal 1To create a Governance Structure using a participatory model.
IBO Mission Statement Citation http://www.ibo.org/mission/
Governance System Our current system: -Vertical coordination of the organization - lack of collaboration - one-way transparency - Metaphor: steep pyramid/champagne glass

Governance System Where we are heading: -Horizontal coordination and decentralization of the organization -bottom up- flattened pyramid where decisions are made at lower levels. - Why? 1.) better use of human resources 2.) unburdens top administrators 3.) ensures that decisions are made close to the situation by the personnel with the proper knowledge 4.) permits more rapid response to external changes - Professional development for team building and shared decision making for our participatory management model.
Participatory Management Model • Greater emphasis on employee morale and job satisfaction where the idea is to satisfy employee needs, which will result in high worker productivity. • Our model focuses on the following: • Likert’s System 4 • Deming- Total Quality Management (TQM) • School-Based Management (SBM) • Shared Decision Making (Vroom-Yetton) • - SWOT
Participatory Management ModelLikert’s System 4 Likert’s System 4 organization- The organizational types or systems are divided into four categories: System 1- Exploitive-Authoritative System 2- Benevolent-Authoritative System 3- Consultative System 4- Participatory -This is the ideal system as it is more team oriented where communication flows freely in all directions. System 4 has 3 Key elements- - supportive relationships - group decisions - high performance goals. The organization works best when its personnel function not as individuals but as members of highly effective work groups with high performance goals. Decisions are not ordered, and the leader is a “linking-pin.”

Participatory Management ModelDeming- Total Quality Management (TQM) Total Quality Management (TQM)-Deming– • This model focuses on the process. If everything works well along the way, then the product will be, by default, an excellent product. • Everyone is important, and they can make the production stop if something isn’t working well because this would affect the end result. • More authority and responsibility is assigned to frontline workers. • TQM is the requirement of teamwork, training, and extensive collection and analysis of data.
Participatory Management ModelSchool-Based Management (SBM) School-Based Management (SBM)- • Authority and responsibility are shared between the district and its schools. Professional responsibility replaces bureaucratic regulation in 2 ways: 1.) Increasing autonomy through some type of relief from constraining rules and regulations. 2.) Share authority with major shareholders (students, teachers, parents, community members, etc.)
Participatory Management ModelShared Decision Making (Vroom-Yetton) Decision making infrastructure: Vroom-Yetton Normative Model- Decision quality- extent to which the decision is effective Decision acceptance- extent to which decisions are accepted by subordinates who need to implement them Timeliness- Amount of time available to make a decision. Participatory is costly in terms of time. What the model does: - It identifies five decision making models - Gives criteria for choosing among the criteria-making styles - Gives decision problems that would determine levels of appropriate subordinate participation - Gives rules for selecting the correct decision making models
Participatory Management ModelShared Decision Making (Vroom-Yetton) Five Decision making styles: * One leader can use all of the styles listed below depending upon the situation* Decision quality- (level of importance of a decision) Decision acceptance- (extent to which the decisions need to be accepted) AI- Administrator makes decision and may or may not ask group for feedback. AII- Asks group for information may share what the problem is. Administrator generates the alternatives. The administrator picks. CI- Asks a select group of individuals separately about the problem. Administrator generates the alternatives. The administrator picks. CII- Share your problem with a group and obtain their ideas and alternatives. The administrator picks. GI- Same as CII but agrees to accept the recommendation. (the only one which is truly the participatory idea, and the direction in which we are heading)
Goal 2Create a learning environment that is conducive to engaging students in authentic learning experiences.
A list of energy-saving features independent climate controls, a living roof windows that let in abundant natural light. conserves energy by conserving space— flexible classrooms used for lectures, seminars, or lab instruction. Ability to deliver fresh-air, designed with easy to clean materials manage solar overheating with awnings and shades managing traffic noise and noise transmission between rooms.
Despite the recent changes in pedagogy and the widespread use of information technology inside classrooms and school spaces, the physical learning environment has not evolved much over the past century.
The Classroom • glass writing wall • Chairs with castors • Innovative tables • Five large monitor workstations • technology such as video, audio and web based resources • Personal storage space A dynamic teaching space concept Teaching space • Dynamic space • Flexible furniture solutions • Technology is integrated into the space • Emphasis on individual and group work
Combined Wealth Ratio (CWR) Combined Wealth Ratio (CWR) In order to distribute state aid fairly, a formula was developed to measure a district's wealth and ability to pay. The formula is called the Combined Wealth Ratio (CWR), and the average ratio statewide is 1.0. Districts whose CWR is above 1.0 are seen as "more wealthy" and may see state aid decrease versus districts whose CWR is less than 1.0 are seen as less wealthy and may see additional state aid. The formula has two parts: Pupil Wealth Ratio (Property Wealth) - A measure of a district’s property wealth per pupil compared to the statewide average property wealth of districts. (Determined by the assessed value of each parcel of the community.) Alternate Pupil Wealth Ratio (Income Wealth) - A measure of a district’s gross income per pupil compared to the statewide average gross income of districts. (Determined by income figures from the New York State income tax.) CWR Determination – It is the number, computed to three decimal places without rounding, obtained when 50 percent of the Pupil Wealth Ratio is added to 50 percent of the Alternate Pupil Wealth Ratio. Sample Combined Wealth Ratio BAY SHORE 2010 CWR- 0.9840
"After attending the workshop, I applied for a "Smaller Learning Communities" grant for the school where I work, and we received word last week that the grant has been funded at $500,000 over a three year period. In addition, we received a second grant that was funded for $250,000 per year for 5 years (over 1.2 million), which will support the development and implementation of the 21st Century Community Learning Center for the students and parents who reside in the Roosevelt community. We are on a roll here thanks to Grant Writing USA." - Elizabeth Dias, Program Manager, Roosevelt High School, Fresno, California "I attended your workshop last year. I just want to let you know that in the last year, I have gotten approximately $50,000 in grants. Thanks again. Nicole" And on 6/7/02 Nicole again wrote: "I have some good news to share. Last week we were awarded a three-year grant of $60,000 a year. Over 50 organizations applied and four received the award. They told me that the grant I wrote scored the highest amount of points!" - Nicole Johnston Zipsie
Grant Writing Opportunities We are seeking solutions that show strong potential for being addressed by personalized, web-based technology solutions that support the goal of all students graduating from high school ready for college or career, and being prepared to complete a postsecondary degree or certificate with value in the workplace. http://www.collegeknowledgechallenge.org/about/
Goal 3To provide our students with the necessary skills and conceptual understandings needed for college and career readiness.
Future School Curriculum Here are three basic approaches: • RETROFITTING- Adding new skills to existing jobs. • BLENDING- Combining skills and functions from different jobs or industries to create new specialties. • PROBLEM SOLVING- Necessity is still the mother of invention, and the supply of future problems for people to solve seems limitless What are we preparing our students for?

Future School Curriculum International Baccalaureate Mission Statement- “At our heart we are motivated by a mission to create a better world through education. The aim is to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. The IB program encourages students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right. The learner profile provides a long-term vision of education. It is a set of ideals that can inspire, motivate and focus the work of schools and teachers, uniting them in a common purpose.”
Future School Curriculum According to Peter Senge (The Fifth Discipline, 1990) learning organizations are….organizations where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning to see the whole together….The basic rationale for such organizations is that in situations of rapid change only those that are flexible, adaptive, and productive will excel. • Instructional design will: • - Differentiate to meet the needs of all learners • Apply 21st century instructional technology • Enable students to succeed through Common Core and interpersonal skill development • Emphasize rigor and relevance for all
Future School Curriculum “When you ask people about what it is like being part of a great team, what is most striking is the meaningfulness of the experience. People talk about being part of something larger than themselves, of being connected, of being generative. It becomes quite clear that, for many, their experiences as part of truly great teams stand out as singular periods od life lived to the fullest. Some spend the rest of their lives looking for ways to recapture that spirit.” (Senge, The Fifth Discipline, 1990:13)
Goal 4Develop an assessment system that encourages students to take intellectual risks.
