Problem Identification

Max Thompson's Learning Focused Schools Strategies to school enhancement has been acknowledged by school managements and educationalists as a plan to revamp and restructure Primary School of California. The plan makers assert educational institutes with 90 percent marginal learners and 90 percent of learners meeting the criteria for free or reduced lunch programming can attain at high degrees on requisite program of study. Assessed are the values and approaches of educationalists as linked with the level of performance of Learning Focused School Strategies in their class settings. The study maintained the argument that LFS are evidence-based and successful, that educationalists consider the approaches will develop tutoring, high degree of performance, improving the prospective for learner accomplishment.

DCSS has implemented Max Thompson's Learning-Focused Strategies (LFS) representation for tuition in all K-12 class room settings. The Learning Focused School Strategies representation offers approaches and resolutions for educators based upon best activities found in educational institutes with 90% of their students attaining dexterous or high on unvarying tests with 90 % scarcity or ethnic miscellany. These activities and approaches stress on five parts vital to educational achievement: preparation, program of study, instructional approach, evaluation, and school management (Reeves, 2001).
