Item Details: Six Pillars of Dynamic Schools
Six Pillars of Dynamic Schools uncovers an often overlooked truth--effective change is the product of hard work and dedication. There is no silver bullet; no matter how many programs, software packages, or new initiatives you use, the magic won't just "happen." Dynamic schools result from consistent and redundant focus on the fundamental core elements affecting teachers and students--the premise of Six Pillars of Dynamic Schools. What sets this book apart is its focus on how we, as school leaders, do business instead of what business we should do. Regardless of the methods chosen, there are six fundamental processes--pillars--that must be ongoing in order to sustain meaningful change on the road to dynamic schools. Six Pillars of Dynamic Schools is ideal for use as a book study in a professional learning community.
Problem-Based Learning exercises are provided with each chapter to drive discussion and facilitate learning and understanding.
