Using Political Influence to Promote Change Two of the required articles in this module explore techniques that effective leaders have used to influence education decision making. Bastedo (2005) describes the practice of "institutional entrepreneurship" in higher education, in which the members of a governing board leverage the cooperation of powerful partners to reach their goals. Casto and Sipple (2011) describe P–12 leaders who let themselves be led by the values of their local communities, regardless of the source of the funding or mandates. In this Discussion, you and your colleagues will examine the characteristics and behaviors of an individual whom you consider to be an effective education leader based on his or her use of political influence to produce positive change. To prepare for the Discussion, read the assigned articles focusing on the nature of political influence in education and the role of leadership. Then, address the following: Select an ind

Preparing for Sustainable Strategic Success The following study was conducted by Bloom & Unterman (2012): Mandated and sweeping change can have an effect the macro and micro levels of planning. For example, between the fall of 2002 and the fall of 2008, New York City undertook a district-wide reform initiative that improved graduation rates for students in 123 public high schools known as “small schools of choice” (SSCs). Through a lottery system, the city implemented a centralized high school admissions process that assigned over 90% of the incoming ninth graders each year to a SSC of their choice. As a result of this strategic plan, graduation rates increased from 68.7% in year four to 75.2% in year five. Graduation rates have continued to improve. These successful outcomes were a result of organizational planning that took place at the macro and micro levels. For this Discussion, consider how New York City implemented strategies to achieve and maintain sustainable succ

Question: You need to carry out a short investigation into the effect of different starting solutions and tabu list lengths for runs of a fixed number of iterations when using Tabu Search for a TSP, using the software provided in the course (Which is in additional file ) Zip Before you start I suggest that you make some practice runs of Tabu Search using the software, so as to become thoroughly familiar with it.  Then you will need to make several runs "for real". You should conduct your experiments for one set of data: use city125.txt. Use the following settings: Delay factor: Use a value of 1 or more in order to observe how a search is progressing using the map. When you have decided what runs you want to record, set the delay to zero and the program will run more quickly. Results are updated in the output window as normal, but the map only shows the initial and best solutions. Initial solution: Use Successive Inclusion or Random. Starting city:   For every run the starting c
