7 Mindshifts for School Leaders

Finding New Ways to Think about Old Problems

Beschreibung

With the right approach, no problem is unsolvable. Persistent problems in education-numeracy, reading ability, equity, grading, and teacher retention-can only be solved if we approach them as the crises they are. This practical guide introduces seven mindshifts to help leaders chart an innovative course of school improvement, becoming empowered to not just deal with perennial complex issues, but extinguish them altogether so students and teachers can thrive. Features include: * Seven adaptable models for finding solutions to perennial problems * Stories highlighting successful implementation of each mindshift * Discussions to help match mindshifts to particular problems * Technical tips and reflection questions
