Effective Schools Movement

The Effective Schools Movement emerged in the late 1970s, focusing on identifying qualities that make schools successful in improving student learning. Researchers found that effective schools share common characteristics, such as strong leadership, a positive school climate, high expectations for all students, and ongoing teacher development. This movement emphasizes the importance of a supportive and inclusive environment, where teachers collaborate and engage with students meaningfully. The goal is to create schools that consistently achieve high academic outcomes, regardless of the challenges they face, by implementing research-backed strategies that promote effective teaching and learning practices.
