Thanks to its partnership with publisher Eye on Education, EducationWorld is pleased to present this tip from Teaching Practices from America's Best Urban Schools: A Guide for School and Classroom Leaders by Joseph F. Johnson, Lynne G. Perez and Cynthia L. Uline. The book gives teachers and school administrators detailed examples of the practices of successful urban schools. In this article, the authors identify five common challenges that arise when leaders are attempting to engage in a pedagogical change, and provides a possible solution for each challenge.
Generating consistent school-wide change in teaching takes substantial time and effort, courage and risk. But perhaps the most important lesson to be learned from our studies of high-performing urban schools is that success is attainable. These are five common challenges faced by schools attempting to change their practices and sample solutions that National Excellence in Urban Education Award-winning schools used to overcome these challenges and implement high-quality, high-yield teaching practices.
