Seven Essentials of Whole-School Improvement

Seven Essentials of Whole-School Improvement

Boston Public Schools has woven expectations for parent engagement into their school improvement process, as can be seen in the framework presented in Seven Essentials of Whole-School Improvement. Family and community is listed as one of seven core essentials in their improvement process. Each core essential is defined by three categories of information:

• Expectations for schools
• Evidence in the classroom and around the school
• Expectations for central administrators

Evidence of parental involvement is also expected in the shared leadership core essential.
