Some Model Suggestions for Measuring Effective Schools

AbstractEffective schools are institutions that provide students with optimum learning environments for their self-realization. There are some models that aim to measure whether schools are effective and to what extent they are effective. These models suggest different approaches in measuring effectiveness of schools and bring about a different perspective to effectiveness of schools. This study aims to present some intellectual suggestions intended to reveal effectiveness of effective schools. For this purpose, there has been 12 suggestions made, and the practicability of these suggestions is brought up for discussion. In case the practices and indications of these suggestions are determined, the extent of measurement of school's effectiveness and their potential to be models for other schools will become more comprehensible
