79.015 - Recrafting Coherence in the Era of Common Core

Tue, April 9, 12:20 to 1:50pm, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Floor: 200 Level, Room 201C

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The educational landscape has shifted since Honig and Hatch (2004) originally theorized school leaders and district personnel could “craft coherence” by strategically managing external demands based on each school’s own goals and strategies. The Common Core standards placed new demands on districts and schools by raising the bar for proficiency. Additionally, the numbers and types of systems operating to support schools in meeting these new demands have increased—including the exponential growth of CMOs, non-profit intermediary organizations, school improvement networks, and local districts more focused on instructional improvement. Our symposium explores how these various education systems operate to continuously re-craft coherence in response to rigorous instructional expectations.
