Synopsis
THE PROVEN FRAMEWORK THAT CAN TRANSFORM YOUR SCHOOL Breakthrough Principals debunks the myth of the "superhero" principal by detailing the common actions and practices of leaders at our nation's fastest-gaining public schools. Based on the authors' Transformational Leadership Framework, which they developed through in-depth study of more than 100 high-gaining, high-poverty schools, the book distills findings into a practical, action-focused plan for diagnosing school needs and implementing structures, systems, and practices that accelerate student achievement. Brought to life by real-world stories of principals who have led transformative gains in student achievement, the book is a how-to guide for increasing the quality of teaching and learning; improving culture; attracting and supporting high-performing teachers; and involving parents and community effectively. Breakthrough Principals unveils the details behind the success stories from across the nation, providing a roadmap to dramatic school improvement. "As CEO of Chicago Public Schools and U.S. Secretary of Education, I have seen firsthand the life-changing impact that highly skilled principals have on school and student success. In Breakthrough Principals , New Leaders distills what it has learned from 15 years of training, supporting, and studying such exemplary school leaders into a step-by-step guide that can help every principal particularly those leading schools most in need of improvement achieve similarly transformative results." Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education, 2009 2015 " Breakthrough Principals details the essential role school leaders play in ensuring that exceptional teaching and learning occurs in every classroom. The book shows how exemplary principals build powerful cultures, develop robust leadership teams and teacher leaders, and provide effective professional learning, thereby creating schools where both teachers and students excel." Irvin Scott , Deputy Director of Effective Teaching, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Bridge the achievement gap with proven strategies for student success Breakthrough Principals debunk s the myth of the 'superhero' principal by detailing the common actions and practices of leaders at our nation's fastest-gaining public schools., Bridge the achievement gap with proven strategies for student success Breakthrough Principals debunk s the myth of the 'superhero' principal by detailing the common actions and practices of leaders at our nation's fastest-gaining public schools.

You'll learn how breakthrough principals make the school's mission a real part of both strategy and practice, and set up sustainable systems that support consistent, ongoing improvement. High-impact practices are organized into five broad categories: learning and teaching, school-wide culture, aligned staff, operations and systems, and personal leadership. The primary job of school leadership is to help students succeed. It begins with first recognizing and prioritizing areas of need, then finding and implementing the most effective solutions. Whether you work in a turn around environment, or want to make a good school better, this book will give you a set of concrete practices--illustrated through examples of real principals in real schools--that have been proven to work. Discover the primary drivers of student achievement Work toward the school's vision in staffing, operations, and systems Set the tone for all relationships and practices with good leadership Closing the achievement gap is a major goal of educational leadership, and principals are forever searching for viable methods that help them better serve their students. Breakthrough Principals unveils the details behind the success stories from across the nation to provide a roadmap to transformative gains.

    The book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.
