Perhaps case management is the wrong approach. Maybe we need to foster a culture of healthy competition amongst our students to build a culture of excellence, so as the students move through the college, their competitive nature and willingness to strive to succeed in all they do, spreads throughout the college and encourages others to do the same

If we identify activities in which a teacher's aid would be benefiical, to help these kids, it would be good if we could book them out on bookit. Sometimes TAs come into the clas when the activity being done does not require asistance, yet they come because they are assigned to the class. A booking system could help utilize TAs more efficiently.

Instead of having 10 individual kids, have a small number of archetypes (e.g. "students bad at exams", "students absent a lot", "students who procrastinate"), assign 10 students to each group, deal with each as a group (including pre-testing and post-testing)

The Hawthorne effect is named after what was one of the most famous experiments (or, more accurately, series of experiments) in industrial history. It marked a sea change in thinking about work and productivity. Previous studies, in particular Frederick Taylor's influential ideas, had focused on the individual and on ways in which an individual's performance could be improved. Hawthorne set the individual in a social context, establishing that the performance of employees is influenced by their surroundings and by the people that they are working with as much as by their own innate abilities.

The experiments took place at Western Electric's factory at Hawthorne, a suburb of Chicago, in the late 1920s and early 1930s. They were conducted for the most part under the supervision of Elton Mayo, an Australian-born sociologist who eventually became a professor of industrial research at Harvard.

The original purpose of the experiments was to study the effects of physical conditions on productivity. Two groups of workers in the Hawthorne factory were used as guinea pigs. One day the lighting in the work area for one group was improved dramatically while the other group's lighting remained unchanged. The researchers were surprised to find that the productivity of the more highly illuminated workers increased much more than that of the control group.

The employees' working conditions were changed in other ways too (their working hours, rest breaks and so on), and in all cases their productivity improved when a change was made. Indeed, their productivity even improved when the lights were dimmed again. By the time everything had been returned to the way it was before the changes had begun, productivity at the factory was at its highest level. Absenteeism had plummeted.

The experimenters concluded that it was not the changes in physical conditions that were affecting the workers' productivity. Rather, it was the fact that someone was actually concerned about their workplace, and the opportunities this gave them to discuss changes before they took place.

A crucial element in Mayo's findings was the effect that working in groups had on the individual. At one time he wrote:

The desire to stand well with one's fellows, the so-called human instinct of association, easily outweighs the merely individual interest and the logic of reasoning upon which so many spurious principles of management are based.

Later in life he added:

The working group as a whole actually determined the output of individual workers by reference to a standard that represented the group conception (rather than management's) of a fair day's work. This standard was rarely, if ever, in accord with the standards of the efficiency engineers.

Fritz Roethlisberger, a leading member of the research team, wrote:

The Hawthorne researchers became more and more interested in the informal employee groups, which tend to form within the formal organisation of the company, and which are not likely to be represented in the organisation chart. They became interested in the beliefs and creeds which have the effect of making each individual feel an integral part of the group.

assessment policy the students know where they stand
homework club helps
the fact that a teacher knew about the students last year and now they might be teaching that student all that information from the collaborative meeting has helped
how do the current teachers of that student access that information?
emphasis on teachers accessing information about students electronically - eg fill in the form and everyone has to fill in and  read the form.
