USING THE CORRELATES OF EFFECTIVE SCHOOLS
TO IMPROVE STUDENT LEARNING

The Correlates of Effective Schools are those characteristics that are consistently found in schools where all children successfully learn. And the extent to which the Correlates are in place in your school will have a dramatic, positive effect on student achievement. The Correlates of Effective Schools as identified by Lezotte, Edmonds, Brookover, and others are:

Instructional Leadership  •  Clear and Focused Mission  •  Safe and Orderly Environment  •  Climate of High Expectations  •  Frequent Monitoring of Student Progress  •  Positive Home-School Relations  •  Opportunity to Learn and Student Time on Task

Now you can learn all about the Correlates of Effective Schools and how you can use them to frame your improvement efforts and ensure that every strategy and action are focused on improving student achievement in a new 2-day training by Dr. Larry Lezotte.

And the timing couldn’t be better…

2012 is fast approaching, along with the federal deadline for schools to achieve 100% student proficiency. Whether your school or district has made great progress toward this goal or has struggled for every percentage point, the most challenging days are ahead as you try to reach the most difficult-to-teach students. Using the Correlates of Effective Schools to guide your improvement efforts will help you and your colleagues meet that challenge.

There has never been a better time to use IVC to bring Dr. Larry Lezotte's message of empowerment and inspiration to your staff: that public education can meet the learning needs of all children. Yes, Dr. Lezotte believes in public education, but he is quick to add that working harder at doing the same things that we've always done will not get us there. What's needed is a new way of doing things, and the knowledge, skills, and structures that support the new system.

This is a powerful message of hope for educators that you can bring to your staff through a technology that many schools and districts already have in place: Interactive Video Conferencing (IVC). Through this exciting technology, Dr. Lezotte offers presentations and keynotes on the following topics that would be appropriate for your entire staff, school leadership teams, or district task forces:

• Learning for All: What Will It Take?
• The Correlates of Effective Schools: An Overview
• The Correlates of Effective Schools as the Leading Indicators of Learning
• Leadership for the Journey Ahead
• The Key to Effective Schools: Continuous School Improvement
• A Conversation with Dr. Larry Lezotte

Each topic listed above can be presented as a 90-minute keynote presentation or as a 1/2-day "mini-training," depending on the needs and time availability of your staff. A 90-minute presentation is $1,100. A 1/2-day mini-training (3 hours) is $2,200.
