  Turnaround schools account for 20 to 30%of the total number of Chinese schools(Yang,2013),but there is a lack of sufficient empirical research on how these schools have been effectively transformed from a district leadership perspective.This study explored how Chinese district leaders improve turnaround schools through building cross-school knowledge community.Built on Craigs definition of knowledge communities and Leithwoods transformational leadership theory(Leithwood,2012; Leithwood & Sun,2012),this study explored how Chinese district leaders transformed turnaround schools through building cross-school development communities in Shanghai.An exploratory case study method was applied in this study.Semi-structured interviews were used to conduct data collection,and analysis of publicly accessible documents at the district and school level was implemented for triangulation.Ten district leaders and 12 school administrators participated in this exploratory study that examined how district leadership is displayed in the process of building cross-school communities.Results and conclusions/points of view.This research identified four categories of leadership practices that have been employed by Chinese district leaders to build up cross-school development communities and transform turnaround schools.These leadership practices include setting a clear vision and goals for cross-school development communities,establishing management structures in these communities,building up their management mechanisms,implementing the rotation of school principals and teachers,balancing resource distribution among schools,guiding school professional development,supervising effective classrooms,establishing common evaluation guidelines across schools,facilitating cross-school academic activities,and facilitating the sharing of curriculum resources between schools.Additionally,challenges to initiating cross-school development communities were also identified.These included different management philosophies in different school management contexts,the ways in which district leaders and school leaders communicate,and the collaborative atmosphere.This study supplies an example of successful turnaround school transformation for others working in similar cultural contexts.

社交媒体一般为用户在数字平台的在线协作空间中可以创建、共享和与交互彼此的内容。将社会媒体运用于教育中存在着理论批评和实际的障碍:(1)社会媒体或许会加剧趋同性,从而限制丰富的辩论可能性和有助于学习的不同意见的阐发;(2)非正式的、非结构化的社交媒体环境使得学习变得更为复杂化;(3)社交媒体技术不保证强大的协作、互动式学习;(4)教育者在使用社交媒体中存在相关社会风险,这在一定程度上限制了教师基于社
中学校园文化作为增强文化自信的重要有机组成部分,在传播知识、创新培养人才的人类实践中起到不可替代的作用。十八大以来,随着基础教育课程改革的大力推进和素质教育的深入实施,中学校园文化建设中的思想引领正成为优化学校教育软环境,有效提升教育质量,培养学生核心素养的关键。立足于思想政治教育学原理分析后发现目前我国中学校园文化建设取得一些成绩,但在校园文化的建设过程中仍普遍存在问题。本文作者坚持习近平新时代
当代中国“新基础教育”研究持续推进20 余年,在学校领导与管理改革方面积累了许多经验:以“成人成事”为价值取向,采取“重心下移”的方式,在不同阶段以不同载体为抓手,在不同层面上进行突破、累进,逐渐呈现出多元参与、共治善治的学校治理理念与格局。
基于核心素养培育的学校教育已成为全球教育趋势,我国基础教育也逐渐从“知识本位”时代步入“核心素养”时代。这必然要求与之相适应的具备综合素养的教师作为“催化剂”来引导学生核心素养的获得与发展。本研究依据帕森斯的社会行动理论,将教师对核心素养培育这一新环境的适应过程建构出三个基本维度,即文化适应——完成行为有机体(教师)与文化系统的整合、社会适应——完成行为有机体(教师)与社会系统的整合、心理适应——
视域调整是对理解教师与教学实践具有重要价值。从纵向发展脉络看,作为审视教师与教学实践的视域的关键词,从人口负担转向人力资源,实现了对师资认识的超越;接下来较长一段时间内需要推进人力资源向专业资本的跨越。专业资本是人力资本,社会资本和决策资本的函数。为实现教师专业资本的增值,可以从教师领导、证据驱动与问责制进行努力与探索。
2001 年《基础教育课程改革纲要》下达后,小学开设外语这一门课程,英语成为小学基础教育的必修课之一。同时随着经济和科技的蓬勃发展,我国和其他国家的交流发展逐渐增多,并且英语是许多国家的官方语言,所以提高全社会英语水平也变得更加重要。但学生们在英语方面基础比较薄弱,学校、家长、学生也越来越重视学生英语的学习。因为学生的能力参差不一,学校的课堂授课不利于学生的个性化学习,因此课外辅导机构也成为了家长
"自然界的水循环"作为高中地理课程中的一项重要内容,是学生理解地理原理、探究地理过程、分析地理影响的有效载体。调查分析师、生对"自然界的水循环"一节的教、学体会,并将"水循环"与"大气环流"和"洋流"等同类地理过程的课程内容进行横向比较,从课堂教学的"一线需求"和课程内容的"本体分析"两方面,审思目前"水循环"教科书文本的待改进之处与修订建议:增添水循环或水体联系的影响因素;精简水循环环节和过程部

速度是儿童现实生活中经历与熟悉的一种物理量。在小学数学中,速度概念作为重要的现实模型贯穿于儿童的数学学习过程,但即使儿童能够牢记公式,在理解与运用过程中也存在着较大的困难。基于文献综述及相关研究经验,本文首先从内包量及比率角度对速度概念进行界定,并通过对相关研究的梳理呈现了儿童由以停止点判断速度大小的阶段发展至过渡阶段、理解同向与逆向关系阶段以及达到掌握时间-距离-速度系统阶段的过程,并由此提出“
