This is a masterfully crafted and accessible book by North America's foremost expert on change.""???Thomas J. Sergiovanni, Lillian Radford Professor of EducationTrinity University, San Antonio, TX ""Fullan challenges all who work in education to rethink the critical role of the principal as school leader in the current era of accountability.??With clarity and insight, he offers a series of strategies to reshape the culture and context of leadership in schools to create learning communities where both students and teachers can excel.""???Paul D. Houston, Executive DirectorAmerican Association of School Administrators "Once again, the writing of Michael Fullan is a tour de force. The Moral Imperative of School Leadership is a must-read for those who want to make a difference!"???Gerald N. Tirozzi, Executive DirectorNational Association of Secondary School Principals "The time has come to change the context of school leadership!" The role of the principal is pivotal to systemic school change. That is the fundamental message of??"The Moral Imperative of School Leadership," which extends the discussion begun in Fullan's earlier publication, "What??'s Worth Fighting for in the Principalship? "The author examines the moral purpose of school leadership and its critical role in "changing the context" in which the role is embedded. In this bold step forward, Fullan calls for principals to become agents as well as beneficiaries of the processes of school change. In an effort to make the position more rewarding and exciting, he shifts the principal??'s role from one of asite-based superman or superwoman, and recasts it as one in which principals figure prominently both within their school and within the larger school system that surrounds them. Concepts explored in-depth include: Why "changing the context" should be the main agenda for the principalship Why barriers to the principalship exist Why the principal should be seen as the COO (chief operating officer) of a school Why the role of the principal should figure more prominently within the system What individuals and the system can do to transform school leadership to a powerful new force The challenge, and moral imperative, for today's principal is to lead system transformations to resolve the top-down/bottom-up dilemma that exists in systemic change. To end the exodus from the principalship, and for great school leaders to evolve in large numbers, the time to redefine the position is now!See Facilitator's Guide to The Moral Imperative of School Leadership??

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Are you creating Fish Out of Water in your environment? Oftentimes a group demands compliance with cultural codes and behavioral expectations that are never taught. Instead, the standards of this hidden curriculum are used to justify punishing, marginalizing, and excluding children and adults from the dominant culture. This book focuses on the need for and the strategies to create inclusive classrooms and organizations. What do you do when you are the one who doesn't fit in? Fish Out of Water are those who don't fit in the mainstream culture because they are too different from the dominant groups. This book offers tools for decoding cultures-moving from code switching to code sharing. Included are: Compelling portraits of fish out of water who have learned to survive and thrive in schools and other organizations Strategies for working with children who are targeted and bullied because they are different For every one who has been or knows how it feels to be a Fish Out of Water, this book will help you to flourish where you are, mentor others who are different, and manage the dynamics of difference as you create a culturally proficient organization. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: "Fish Out of Water is a great resource for navigating ponds that suffocate the marginalized with dominant norms and values. Linking Cultural Proficiency to decoding an environment provides more tools for code switching, code sharing, and conversations about making students and families feel welcomed, included, and safe in our schools." -Angela Ward, Office of Cultural Proficiency & Inclusion Austin Independent Schools, TX "This book made me think. It is a courageous attempt at the difficult subject of who 'doesn't fit' into the spaces and places we inhabit-and why. But the most valuable part of this book is that it describes what we can do about making our schools, workplaces, and communities more inclusive, and ultimately more effective." -Nicki King, Reducing Mental Health Disparities Project University of California, Davis For anyone who doesn't "fit in," this book offers survival strategies for managing the dynamics of difference and mentoring others who are targeted because they are different.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Every student deserves a great teacher, not by chance, but by design" - Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, & John Hattie What if someone slipped you a piece of paper listing the literacy practices that ensure students demonstrate more than a year's worth of learning for a year spent in school? Would you keep the paper or throw it away? We think you'd keep it. And that's precisely why acclaimed educators Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, and John Hattie wrote Visible Learning for Literacy. They know teachers will want to apply Hattie's head-turning synthesis of more than 15 years of research involving millions of students, which he used to identify the instructional routines that have the biggest impact on student learning. These practices are "visible" for teachers and students to see, because their purpose has been made clear, they are implemented at the right moment in a student's learning, and their effect is tangible. Yes, the "aha" moments made visible by design. With their trademark clarity and command of the research, and dozens of classroom scenarios to make it all replicable, these authors apply Hattie's research, and show you: How to use the right approach at the right time, so that you can more intentionally design classroom experiences that hit the surface, deep, and transfer phases of learning, and more expertly see when a student is ready to dive from surface to deep. Which routines are most effective at specific phases of learning, including word sorts, concept mapping, close reading, annotating, discussion, formative assessment, feedback, collaborative learning, reciprocal teaching, and many more. Why the 8 mind frames for teachers apply so well to curriculum planning and can inspire you to be a change agent in students' lives-and part of a faculty that embraces the idea that visible teaching is a continual evaluation of one's impact on student's learning. Renowned literacy experts Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey work with John Hattie to apply his groundbreaking research to literacy practices.

Elisa MacDonald offers a skillful approach to team leadership rooted in values, mindset, intelligence, and skill. Readers will learn from reality-based examples illustrating common team hurdles in collaboration, shared leadership, goal setting and attainment, rigorous discourse, and continuous improvement. This practical guide features: Research-based and field-tested solutions for preventing and overcoming hurdles Brief follow-up sections with tips for sustaining positive change Ways to work beyond the team to shape and influence school culture Prompts to apply learning to your own leadership hurdles A common chapter format for easy reference and flexible use Despite the growing popularity of teacher collaboration in teams such as PLCs, most teachers were never trained in the basic skills of team facilitation such as establishing and enforcing norms, setting goals, and moving beyond the "culture of nice." Whether team leadership is a shared responsibility or an individual responsibility, knowledge of effective leadership practice is an essential requirement for team success. This book provides a research-based understanding of common roadblocks that school-based team leaders encounter, and practical strategies to overcome them, and even avoid them. The author helps readers look beyond the surface to see complex challenges as windows into the existing school culture; giving them strategies to not only lead their teams, but also, offering readers concrete ways in which they can influence and grow the school culture.
