This theory uses evidence, research and analysis to monitor the impact of teaching and instructional design in the classroom. It is believed that, through evidence based practice, that innovation and transformation can happen in our new school. We will work with The Center for Evidence-Based Education (CEBE) to ensure that the education offered within Dream School International is at the highest standards and that it continues to be on the cusp of innovation.
Through its Actionable Inquiry Initiative, CEBE demonstrates its firm commitment to inquiry, through which it maximizes, networks, and develops, the expertise of the schools, networks of schools, and school systems with which it works. It is committed to assisting these schools, networks of schools, and school systems in developing breakthrough practice: practice that enables them to break through from where they are to where they need to be. In this, it draws upon strategies that support schools, networks of schools, and school systems in working in depth on the detail of their practice, and on designing learning. http://www.cebe.us/about-our-work
Using the CEBE’s initiative plans we will useinquiry as strategy, practice-based evidence and leadership as lever (the leadership of administrators, teachers, school board members, parents, students, and other stakeholders) as the keys to our evidence-based approach to school improvement.
As we are a new school, we will work closely with this organization prior to, during, and after our opening to ensure that our teachers and students are getting the best education possible. We will investigate past teaching approaches and case studies from other schools to learn from past successes and failures.
Some of the initiatives that we will pursue in more depth include: Actionable Inquiry—enabling those with whom CEBE works to identify strengths and challenges in the areas of learning and teaching, leadership for learning, and culture for learning, to achieve sustainable improvement and transformation
Assessing for Learning (CAPS)—facilitating teams of administrators and teachers to build coherent assessment systems and to implement highly successful evidence-based classroom assessment practices
Designing Learning—assisting educators in developing their work in ways that not only promote student engagement, critical thinking, and conceptual learning, but also their own learning and that of the systems in which they work
Images of Practice—videoing practice to enable teachers and administrators to explore both their own practice and the practice of others
Inspiring Transformation—developing the collective capacity of individuals and organizations in “sequencing, harmonizing, and integrating the short, medium, and long term” priorities, strategies and practices critical both to sustainable improvement and transformation
Leading Learning—building the leadership capacity of individuals and teams, using a set of internationally developed benchmark principles, allied to creative and interactive leadership development practices
Strategic Networking—structuring and facilitating both intra-school and inter-school networks in ways that not only both support and challenge educators, but also underpin deep learning, and lead to sustainable transformation in performance and practice.
