Thesis (Ed.D.)--University of Southern California, 2011.

This alternative capstone dissertation inquiry project was a gap analysis of the implementation of Focus on Results, a reform initiative, in the Glendale Unified School District (GUSD). The Clark & Estes (2002) gap analysis process model was the analytical framework used to conduct our inquiry. This alternative capstone project developed from a partnership between the Rossier School of Education at the University of Southern California (USC) and GUSD. At the request of GUSD, our inquiry focus was to gain a better understanding of how and to what extent the FoR implementation was implemented through the different levels of instruction offered in GUSD. The first section will present an introduction of the role of the district office in educational reform as it pertains to educational reform. A review of literature pertaining to the district and its role in the reform process is then presented. Methods pertaining to our inquiry process follow. We then present our inquiry findings, identifying and classifying the root causes of the performance gaps through one of each of the three dimensions of the gap analysis process model: knowledge/skill, motivation, and organizational culture. Much of the issues experienced by GUSD in its implementation of FoR were rooted in the misalignment of organizational goal structure, the knowledge/skill capacity of its role groups, and the lack of a defined plan for sustainability. The next section presents a review of literature pertaining to these areas we believe can best impact the implementation. Finally, in an effort to maximize the district's opportunity to enhance and sustain the reform initiative, we propose research-based recommendations to address these root causes and mitigate the performance gaps identified in our inquiry analysis.
