Educators devoted to school reform focus all too often on the
isolated components of K-12 education--this is the essential
premise of this powerful new book. If we are truly committed to
improving our schools, the author contends, then we must focus on
the interdependence of variables that affect student learning, both
inside and outside the classroom. The book is divided into three
distinct parts. In Part 1, Danielson introduces the Four Circles
Model to define the criteria for successful school improvement:
Everything educators do to help their students learn must be based
on what educators want (school, district, or state goals), believe
(values and principles), and know (educational research). In Part
2, the author provides a framework for improving schools--including
curriculum, team planning, and policies and practices affecting
students--and connects every concept to the criteria presented in
Part 1. She also provides a handy rubric at the end of each
chapter, both as a summary of main points and as a tool for
educators to gauge the needs of their school. Part 3 offers readers
guidelines on how best to implement the framework using action
planning. Brimming with perceptive advice and thought-provoking
arguments, this book is both a wake-up call and a roadmap to
success for those determined to provide students with the best
education possible.
