This one-of-a-kind book takes readers beyond thinking about school improvement to leading the process of creating excellent learning environments. Beginning with fundamental principles of school leadership for grades K-12, the book demonstrates how action research and published studies can work hand-in-hand to explain the nature of student achievement gaps and the reasons that underlie them. Using examples from education leadership classrooms, research, and practice, the authors bring to life the processes of problem identification and diagnosis, developing solutions, and project implementation and evaluation.
Of all the textbooks I've bought in my life, this one is probably the best. I bought it for a graduate school class in leading school improvement and this book is almost like a "how to" manual. It is concise and thorough. The book takes you step by step through every stage and gives lots of great pointers to keep you on track. In addition, it provides worksheets to keep you an active reader and to help you meld the ideas of the textbook into any school improvement plan you are working on. This book took a process that I had a great deal of anxiety about and made it into something that I now love to do.
