Wing Institute Web Site Improvements

The Wing Institute has redesigned both the structure and content of its web site home page to increase readers’ ability to navigate the site and locate the information they are seeking.  The new structure offers clear pathways for identifying and researching critical topics and effectively communicates what the Wing Institute’s web site has to offer. The home page content is driven by reader feedback derived from a wide range of sources, including Researchgate, Academia.edu., and Google Analytics.  The new home page is organized around the following categories:

Why Students Succeed (Education Drivers)

Educational systems are incredibly complex, and it is easy get overwhelmed looking for information across many topics.  The new homepage distills this search down to the three most critical education drivers: Quality Teachers, Quality Principals, and Explicit Instruction.

Why Education Practices Fail (Implementation)

Implementation is an essential, and too often overlooked, component of quality education programs.  It is often mentioned as an afterthought and can be difficult to locate on education sites.  The Wing homepage highlights its value and provides readers the opportunity to go directly to the latest research and practice strategies for effective implementation.

How are we doing (Systems Dashboard)

In this age of complexity and uncertainty, it is more critical than ever to identify and track relevant data that will help education stakeholders make informed decisions about school issues.  The systems dashboard provides a continually updated analysis of what we are doing and how we are doing.  The home page highlights five topic areas, which can be changed easily to reflect the most 

Newsletter

The new homepage spotlights the Wing Institute Newsletter, which offers readers the latest research on important issues, along with original research from Wing Institute writers. It also provides easier access to past newsletters, which contain relevant research.
