Description
|
Informed by decades of experience with hundreds of schools, this book provides educators with a blueprint for managing and leading change in school systems. In it, renowned educator Phillip Schlechty explains why schools must create systems that will ensure the longevity of successful programs and improvements. He shows educators how to coordinate their efforts and systematically focus on results that matters - setting learning and performance goals, evaluating and aligning curriculum, assessing student interest, planning daily or year-long programs, and supervising staff development. And, he demonstrates how rules, roles, relationships, values, traditions, lore, and belief define the structure, culture, and systems of schools. From lesson plans to leadership, Shaking-Up the Schoolhouse guides educators step-by-step through the complex process of change. This book is a practical companion to Schlechty's popular book, Inventing Better Schools.
