Two New Turnaround Resources from Public Impact

The Big U-Turn: How to Bring Schools from the Brink of Doom to Stellar Success

The Big U-Turn, published in Education Next’s Winter 2009 issue, explains how turnarounds work across sectors and the implications for turnarounds in schools and districts.  Illustrating their findings with key examples from private and public sector successes, the authors provide six essential leader actions and the elements of an environment conducive to turnarounds.  Read the full article.

By Emily Ayscue Hassel and Bryan C. Hassel

Competencies for Turnaround Success Series

The four resources in the Competencies for Turnaround Success Seriesclarify the most critical competencies—or patterns of thinking, feeling, speaking and acting—that enable people to be successful in attempts to transform schools from failure to excellence quickly and dramatically.  Competencies may be used for selection, professional development, promotion, outplacement and, in more limited cases, pay.  The series with associated toolkits is available here.

Developed by Lucy Steiner, Emily Ayscue Hassel, Bryan C. Hassel, Elizabeth Valsing and Sarah Crittenden

Data Mining and Crowd Wisdom

Revamping Education Data: Cutting-Edge Strategies from Other Sectors explores two trends that have revolutionized organizations in other sectors: mining the data generated by the daily activities of employees and customers, and tapping the “wisdom of crowds.”  Appearing in a new book from the Thomas B. Fordham Institute entitled, A Byte at the Apple: Rethinking Education Data for the Post-NCLB Era, this paper explores the potential opportunities available for public education to tap into these effective strategies. Download the full chapter here.
