Systems ThinkingXxx Xxxxxxxxxxx (1956) explained the General System Theory (GST) concept to help explain the behavior of complex, integrated, organized systems. This theory translates well to the educational arena. In education systems, the theory becomes systems thinking. Systems thinking is the ability to understand (and sometimes to predict) interactions and relationships in complex, dynamic systems (Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx-XxXxxx, Xxxxx, Xxxxx, & Xxxxxx, 2012). In the reformation of education curriculum, understanding the causes and effects of each area inside and outside of the classroom, inside and outside of the school site, how the students contribute to the district, how the district interacts with the community, and how the community votes for local and national officials are all portions of the “system” that educational leaders must include as stakeholders and participants of the reform. Betts (1992) argues that Xxx Xxxxxxxxxxx’s theory classifies unitary systems as systems that have a clear goal. Education, on the other hand, cannot be classified as a unitary system but it is highly pluralistic with many conflicting goals (Betts, 1992). Betts further states that the challenge of reform is that often compromises must be made due to conflicting legal mandates that require a consensus of the participants. To understand the complexities of systems thinking and the interrelationship between all stakeholders, a reformation in the educational system would be possible. Second only to the complex systems theory and thinking of a school-site, is the in-depth understanding of the site’s leadership priorities. Leadership transcends education and is an essential need for every institution. Xxxxxxx (2001) identified nine areas that change companies from good to great companies. A message that Xxxxxxx repeats is that when management has a narrowly focused objective along with making sound decisions that is the key to the success of the business (Xxxxxxx, 2001). Translating a business sense to the school site, a school leader is charged with making sound decisions, while weighing all stakeholder input in deciding on their priorities for the school or educational department. A school leader’s contribution to any educational reform is needed to be successful. To assist with leadership priorities in changing the curriculum of the school, Xxxxxx (2009) suggests that ensuring the mission and values of your organization must be able to fit on one business card. This concept of a clear state...

  • Infrastructure Infrastructure serves as the foundation and building blocks of an integrated IT solution. It is the hardware which supports Application Services (C.3.2) and IT Management Services (C.3.3); the software and services which enable that hardware to function; and the hardware, software, and services which allow for secure communication and interoperability between all business and application service components. Infrastructure services facilitate the development and maintenance of critical IT infrastructures required to support Federal government business operations. This section includes the technical framework components that make up integrated IT solutions. One or any combination of these components may be used to deliver IT solutions intended to perform a wide array of functions which allow agencies to deliver services to their customers (or users), whether internal or external, in an efficient and effective manner. Infrastructure includes hardware, software, licensing, technical support, and warranty services from third party sources, as well as technological refreshment and enhancements for that hardware and software. This section is aligned with the FEA/DoDEA Technical Reference Model (TRM) which describes these components using a vocabulary that is common throughout the entire Federal government. A detailed review of the TRM is provided in Section J, Attachment 5. Infrastructure includes complete life cycle support for all hardware, software, and services represented above, including planning, analysis, research and development, design, development, integration and testing, implementation, operations and maintenance, information assurance, and final disposition of these components. The services also include administration and help desk functions necessary to support the IT infrastructure (e.g., desktop support, network administration). Infrastructure components of an integrated IT solution can be categorized as follows:
