'With the spotlight on schools and the achievement of subgroups of
students, educators need to read this book and reflect on the
guiding questions. Then we need to take the challenge and do what
we know is right so we are doubling student performance and closing
achievement gaps'-Leslie Standerfer, Principal Estrella Foothills
High School, Goodyear, AZ 'This text is the product of considerable
research and disciplined reflection on closing the student
achievement gap in schools, unquestionably the most important
challenge facing schools. The book offers a wealth of
well-illustrated advice about how to address this challenge and
should be required reading for every principal and
superintendent'-Kenneth Leithwood, Professor of Educational
Leadership and Policy, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education,
University of Toronto The keys to closing achievement gaps from
principals who have been there! What does it take to reach across
cultural and socioeconomic barriers to bridge student achievement
gaps? Drawing on five years of nationwide research, the authors
present Learning First, an integrated schoolwide framework of
collaborative leadership that helps school leaders advance learning
for all students. Using case examples that illustrate how Learning
First works in action and providing worksheets, checklists, and
rubrics to support implementation, the book shows principals how to
apply this field-tested model to four critical dimensions of
leadership: - Advancing equity and excellence in student learning -
Developing teachers' instructional capacity - Managing and aligning
resources - Building and engaging community Learning First! offers
an approach that strengthens principals' leadership skills,
delineates shared goals for professional communities, and helps
educators keep their eyes on the prize-closing the achievement gap
in their schools.
