Integration within Education Mandates & Constraints (BT)This is a featured page

This initial collection or research references, reports and resources has been started by the International School Health Network as part of an international discussion group. Visitors to and members of this wiki-based web site are welcome to add references (using the Easy Edit" tool found at the top of the page or commenting on the collection by using the "thread" tool found at the bottom of the page. (All previous versions of this page are automatically saved by the system, so don't hesitate to edit this page. Eventually, when time and resources permit, this initial collection will be formatted in accordance with the outline for bibliographies/ toolboxes relating to the application of theories, models or essential evidence/experienced-based insights used in this knowledge exchange program.

A. Defining the Model, Theory, Framework or Essential Insight

A-1 Overview


ResearchReports/Resources




A-2 Linkages to other theories, models, frameworks, essential insights


ResearchReports/Resources
Connections to educational and learning theories
Connections to other health and social development theories

A-3 Elements or aspects of the theory, model, framework, essential insights


ResearchReports/Resources
The priority given to and balance among the basic functions of schooling (custody, literacy/numeracy, vocational, socialization and accreditation) will affect approaches and programs
Implications and use of the five basic functions

Safe custody of children during the day


Ensuring basic literacy, numeracy, science and technology skills and basic knowledge about history, geography etc


Exploration of careers and selected forms of job preparation


Socialization into dominant social norms and values

Donna Marie Harris,(2011) Curriculum Differentiation and Comprehensive School Reform: Challenges in Providing Educational Opportunity Educational Policy September 2011vol. 25no. 5844-884

Current attempts to reform or improve the education system (size and nature of changes matters) will affect approaches and programs

The current concept of effective schooling will affect approaches and programs

Congruence with current educational thinking about effective teaching practices and organization
Application to and cooperation with various educational movements relating to different types of schools (rural schools, urban schools, religious schools, indigenous/aboriginal schools. affluent/private schools, alternative schools, magnet schools, virtual schools etc)
Application to different types of students that are sometimes grouped in classes within schools including learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities
Implications of the multiple, loosely coupled layers of decision-making in education

ResearchReports/Resources




A-5 Landmark Evaluated Examples of use of the theory


ResearchReports/Resources

Implications of current educator thinking and use of staff development models
The Front-Line and Middle Manager: School Principal/Headmaster
Implications of School Structures, Organization, Routines
Implications of The Characteristics of School Systems
Implications of the Complex Nature of School Ecologies


Implications of current trends re Accountability and Improvement Processes in Education
Working with whole school models developed by educators


Working with other health, social, equity etc comprehensive approaches, coordinated agency-school programs and whole school strategies so that educators are not overwhelmed


Implications of planning time frames and Sustainable Models and Planning from the Outset to Assure Educators


Using a long term capacity-building approach to strengthen integration within school mandates and constraints
