Alignment of Human Resource Practices and Teacher Performance Competency

In this article, we argue that human resource (HR) management practices are important components of strategies for improving student achievement in an accountability environment. We present a framework illustrating the alignment of educational HR management practices to a teacher performance competency model, which in turn is aligned with student achievement goals. We identify and illustrate the various HR practices that could be aligned to the performance competency model and to each other. These HR practices include recruitment, selection, induction, mentoring, professional development, compensation, performance management, and instructional leadership. We then describe HR practices in 2 districts where empirical links between teacher competency and student achievement were shown (Cincinnati and Washoe County) and evaluate how much alignment was in place. We discuss the importance of HR alignment analysis for diagnosing districts' teacher quality improvement efforts, and we present suggestions for future research on the strategic use of HR management in K-12 educational organizations.     

教育理论与实践关系困境的原因分析

20世纪90年代末,随着教育改革的进一步深入,教育理论与实践关系的困境已经引起一些学者的关注.从教育理论自身来看,其来源、类型不同,不同性质的理论与实践的关系是不同的,但与实践之间都存在着逻辑上的鸿沟.由于教育理论总是具有普遍性和抽象性,教育研究者大多致力于普适性的原理、规律的研究,而教育实践追求具体、个别的丰富性,教师作为连接教育理论和教育实践的中介:一方面对教育理论盲目崇拜;另一方面又在教育教学实践中我行我素.为了摆脱教育理论和实践的困境,提倡教师进行反思和研究,从而使教师成为沟通教育理论与实践的桥梁.

Fidelity of Implementation and Instructional Alignment in Response to Intervention Research

In this review, we explore the extent to which researchers evaluating the efficacy of Tier 2 elementary reading interventions within the framework of Response to Intervention reported on fidelity of implementation and alignment of instruction between tiers. A literature search identified 22 empirical studies from which conclusions were drawn. Results suggest that fidelity of implementation is typically monitored at Tier 2 and that alignment between tiers of intervention is often apparent yet not explicitly stated. However, researchers frequently neglect to report on fidelity of intervention in Tier 1, potentially limiting claims that can be made about the efficacy of subsequent Tier 2 intervention. Limitations and implications for future research are discussed.     

Issues and Practices in Management Job Rotation Programs as Perceived by HRD Professionals

A management job rotation (MJR) program is a planned effort to develop management trainees, supervisors, managers, or executives by placing them, for extended time spans, in new work settings within an organization. Surprisingly little research has been conducted on MJR, even though research conducted by the American Society for Training and Development with the U. S. Department of Labor indicates that instruction for experienced middle managers tends to gravitate away from formal in–house instruction to focus on mentoring, job rotation, and outside seminars. This article reviews what is known about MJR and summarizes results of a recent exploratory survey of training and development professionals about MJR practices in their organizations.

Examining the Alignment of Mathematics Instructional Practices and Mathematics Vocabulary between Core and Intervention Materials

Within a multitiered system of support (MTSS), students who struggle to learn mathematics often receive core instruction and supplemental intervention in different settings, with different teachers and different sets of curriculum materials, all of which can result in poor alignment. This curriculum crosswalk describes how three sets of materials commonly used to provide core instruction and intervention differ with regard to mathematics practices and vocabulary. The results indicate that there is little overlap among all three programs for the majority (n = 6) of the mathematics practices, and very little overlap in mathematics vocabulary (ranging from 6.3 to 24 percent). We also provide a set of research-based instructional recommendations intended to help teachers address gaps and improve alignment of core instruction and intervention.     

高职院校实施“新教师导师制”的困境与对策分析

A Person-Centered Approach to Understanding Teachers' Classroom Practices and Perceived School Goal Structures

ABSTRACT

We examined 179 teachers' perceptions of their own classroom practices and their school's motivational climate to illuminate the ways these perceptions work in concert. Using teachers' responses to two scales of the Patterns of Adaptive Learning Survey, a cluster analysis revealed three profiles of teachers described as cluster 1: Aligned: Performance Moderate, Mastery High: We agree with everything!; cluster 2: Aligned: Performance Low, Mastery High: Yea to Mastery! Nay to Performance!; and cluster 3: Unaligned: Classroom Mastery with School Performance: We're Mastery Structured in a Performance School. Cluster analyses revealed significant differences suggesting these teacher groups had distinct profiles. This study adds to the literature on goal theory aimed at understanding and advancing teachers' motivationally supportive practices and can be used in teacher education and development to help teachers identify, reflect on, and understand their classroom goal structures and how they relate to structures operating at the school level.     

Development and Validation of a Principal Implementation Practices Measure: The Principal Implementation Questionnaire

Measurement of principal implementation behaviors has proved difficult to researchers in educational leadership due to a lack of consensus on the operational definitions of leadership constructs. The Principal Implementation Questionnaire (PIQ) was developed and validated with the intention of providing clarity in the assessment of principal leadership behaviors in the implementation of effective reading programs. Constructs were operationally defined within the context of the population of interest, with subsequent item writing centered around the constructs. A resulting calibration sample of principals from Florida Reading First schools was used to test the hypothesized measurement model to determine how well the items were described by the proposed factors. Results from LISREL analyses revealed a well-fitted model, based on numerous fit indices.     

农村综合实践活动常态实施的困惑与对策

综合实践活动是基础教育课程改革中规定的从小学到高中开设的一门必修课.在农村中小学,由于面临经费紧张、培训机会少、设备差等困难,使综合实践活动无法走向"常态".综合实践活动要像语、数、英等必修学科一样纳入农村学校课程方案来常态实施,既要在宣传力度、观念更新、经费投入、师资培训等方面下功夫,又要依据它本身的特殊性来作具体安排.
