Five Levers to Improve Learning: How to Prioritize for Powerful Results in Your School

Why have decades of school reform had so little measurable effect on student achievement? Why have billions of dollars spent on technology, small-school initiatives, and school-choice options failed to improve our schools? Too often, educators are simply pulling the wrong levers, say Tony Frontier and James Rickabaugh. They explain that the various components of schooling fall into five categories: structure, sample, standards, strategy, and self. Understanding how these five levers work-- and their relative power--can help unlock the potential for lasting improvements in teaching and learning. The authors show readers that changes to structure and sample (how schools are organized and how students are grouped) will not be effective without changes to standards (expectations for student learning), strategy (instructional strategies to engage students in meaningful learning), and self (the set of beliefs teachers and students have about their capacity to be effective). At the heart of this book is a simple message for teachers, administrators, board members, and education policymakers at all levels: the key to success is not doing more work and making more changes, but doing the right work, and making the right changes.https://digitalcommons.stritch.edu/facultybooks/1004/thumbnail.jp

An exploration of best practices in prelicensure nursing education: Integrating physical and mental health concepts

Nurses frequently encounter patients with physical and mental health comorbidities and must be prepared to deliver appropriate care. The purpose of this integrated literature review was to explore best practices in prelicensure/undergraduate nursing education, for the integration of physical and mental health nursing skills. Seven quantitative and eight qualitative research studies were evaluated for this project, fourteen of which were published between 2012-2015 (one older study was included, from 1999). Nineteen additional articles and white papers related to concept and skills integration provided background and context. Gestalt theory was used to guide and interpret this exploration. A broad range of initiatives were found to improve mental health concept integration within undergraduate curricula. When combined, they suggest a comprehensive guide for the integration of physical and mental health concepts in prelicensure nursing education. The goal of prelicensure nursing education is to prepare nurses to practice competently in a variety of health settings; this includes addressing both physical and mental health needs with each patient encounter. Integrating these concepts during prelicensure education prepares nurses for this practice reality
