Teacher-powered schools: Generating lasting impact through common sense…

- - - - The public also expresses overwhelming support for giving teachers the authority to select their colleagues and even control their school’s budget (80 percent and 72 percent, respectively).
- - - - In this study, it appears that successful implementation of an optional assessment package was largely due to teachers’ passion and commitment. Their confidence in initiating these and other changes, such as new teaching practices and elective units, seems to be a chief factor for what became institutionalized change
  - - - teachers found the assessments useful in planning instruction, but that this usefulness was based on the process (doing the assessment and looking at specific areas, such as strategy, during game play) rather than on product (the students’ scores on the assessments). In several field notes entries, students’ use of the assessment rubrics to peer assess during volleyball, softball, and personal wellness classes was documented.
