This text is an exploration of school and educational improvement. It explores areas of focus that can immediately be added to improvement plans and daily practice.
Schools are the bridge to the future. Their success is vital for the success of communities and the country. There are opportunities and avenues to improvement that are unfortunately overlooked and underutilized. The path to improving schools, districts and education overall is not a singular one, but there are common areas that should be explored. Improving Schools: Simple Approaches and Understandings to Realize Growth is an exploration of those common areas that if given the correct attention and focus could serve to improve schools. For example, A lack of focus on adult learning theory is limiting the impact of learning for educators and administrators alike. Other areas explored are the idea of human resource development, leveraging local resources, licensure, online learning, climate, and a renewed focus on the teacher. Through a solution oriented mindset and a commitment to improve, this text can help anyone with influence refocus to find a path to improvement in education.

Kevin Popadines has spent over twenty years in education. He has held positions ranging from classroom teacher, school improvement chair, mentor, varsity basketball and golf coach to instructional specialist, professional learning specialist, acting administrator, as well as university continuing education course creator and instructor. Dr. Popadines has worked in education for the State of New Jersey, North Carolina, with military connected schools and currently works leading professional learning in Spain. He has a passion for learning and believes that with a greater focus on adult learning theory, professional learning and development of teachers can be greatly improved to help yield increased achievement in schools.
