"We can't do that in our school district." "I don't have time to
add that to my curriculum." "We're fighting against impossible odds
with these students." Sound familiar? School improvement can often
feel like a losing battle, but it doesn't have to be. In this fully
revised and updated second edition of The Learning Leader, Douglas
B. Reeves helps leadership teams go beyond excuses to capitalize on
their strengths, reduce their weaknesses, and reset their mindset
and priorities to achieve unprecedented success. A critical key is
recognizing student achievement as more than just a set of test
scores. Reeves asserts that when leaders focus exclusively on
results, they fail to measure and understand the importance of
their own actions. He offers an alternative-the Leadership for
Learning Framework, which helps leaders identify and distinguish
among four different types of educators and provide more effective,
tailored support to: "Lucky" educators, who achieve high results
but don't understand how their actions influence achievement.
"Losing" educators, who achieve low results yet keep doing the same
thing, expecting different outcomes. "Learning" educators, who have
not yet achieved the desired results but are working their way
toward excellence. "Leading" educators, who achieve high results
and understand how their actions influence their success. Reeves
stresses that effective leadership is neither a unitary skill nor a
solitary activity. The Learning Leader helps leaders
reconceptualize their roles in the school improvement process and
motivate themselves and their colleagues to keep working to better
serve their students.
