Full Description
With the right approach, no problem is unsolvable.
How do you approach and solve problems in education that have been around so long that they just feel...normal? Perpetual issues—numeracy, reading ability, equity, grading, and teacher retention—are often continually managed, but not solved like the crises they are for future sustainability.
This innovative guide introduces seven mindshifts that will help you engage with your community, access diverse resources, embrace radical new ideas, create equity, and chart a course of school improvement to solve those "unsolvable issues" so that your students and teachers learn and grow. Features include
Seven adaptable models—one per mindshift—for finding your own solutions to perennial problems
Stories highlighting the successful implementation of each mindshift
Discussions to help you match mindshifts to particular problems
Technical tips and reflection questions
Persistent problems in education can only be solved if we approach them as the crises that they are. This book gives you the tools you need to become a new kind of school leader—one empowered to not just deal with the outcomes of perennial complex issues, but extinguish them altogether so that your students can thrive.
