There are some terrific articles in the Dec.2011/Jan. 2012 ASCD Educational Leadership publication. The theme of this edition is "The Resourceful School." The article "Turning Crisis into Opportunity" by Naomi Calvo and Karen Hawley Miles focuses on three main strategies in order to more for less:
#1: Invest in teacher quality
#2: Give students individual attention
#3: Maximize the use of time
The article also mentions a number of ideas on where schools can find money.
Because charter schools receive less money than mainstream public schools it is even more important for us at Esperanza to be wise about the use of money and resources. Therefore, articles and publications such as this can be extremely helpful.
