Beskrivning
This book provides information on how to use focus-group research to gain insight and allow input from various individuals or groups that may often be silenced during any decision-making process. A history of focus-group research is presented, along with various social and political structures within a school organization that inadvertently silence individuals and groups.Practical knowledge is provided for administrators in a step-by-step process for conducting focus-group research in any school organization—including, procedures for the group moderator, developing an effective focus-group, elements of questions that will generate discussion, keeping the group on task, eliminating personal bias, and bringing the group to closure. A focus-group design is also presented with essential information on developing the questions, population and sample, data collection, data investigation, methodology and concerns about focus-group research.

Recensioner i media

Latess's very readable book illustrates how focus groups can be used effectively in school improvement; he describes step by step procedures that would enable a school leader to use focus groups to gather and analyze qualitative data that would be useful for action planning…Focus-Group Research for School Improvement provides current and prospective school leaders with a "handbook" for planning and implementing focus-group procedures to ensure that the voices of stakeholders are heard. By using the focus group processes advocated by Latess, school leaders can facilitate the much needed engagement of stakeholders in school improvement and thereby increase the likelihood of more effective school improvement initiatives.
