Aim high to improve leading, teaching, and learning
Skillful leadership is critical as schools return to a new normalcy. Improving students' learning and addressing the challenges many learners experienced due to recent learning interruptions are top priorities for all school leaders.
Aiming High offers leaders a framework for creating an environment where both effective instruction and a focus on social and emotional needs benefits all students and teachers. Evan Robb maps a route to building a positive, trusting culture of collaboration, creativity, and empowerment. Features include:
An outline of the leadership elements required to build a learner-focused culture
Tools for fostering productive collaboration, creating shared teacher leadership, and building trusting relationships
Insightful tips for addressing complexities that come with new learning formats
Provocative questions that guide readers toward redefining instructional leadership
Your mission as leader is clear: aim high, work intentionally and collaboratively with teachers, and create a refreshed school culture centered on learning and growth for all.
