This book explains why virtuallyallchildren canachieveproficiency
or higher. And it givesyou the tools todoit. The notion that
schools are Waiting for Superman or Wonder Woman to rescue them is
at best a fantasy and at its worst, damaging to schools and school
systems that advance this type of flawed thinking. This is why in
this book the reader will be encouraged to embrace the concept that
only through building effective teams (collective instructional
leadership) will schools begin to realize their stated goal educate
all students. It may take a village to raise children but it takes
collective instructional leadership to educate them. This book
takes great care to ask the questions that policymakers, educators,
parents, students and the larger community want answered. For
example, below are just some of the questions examined: .Can you
handle the truth? .Why is team leadership needed? .How do campuses
improve their team dynamics? .What methods do high performing
nations use to excel? .What strategies really work in high poverty
schools? .Where do American schools rank on the rigor scale? .What
is trust and how is it developed? .What are campus learning
disabilities? .How do beliefs about human capacity affect student
achievement levels? .What methods motivate students to work hard?
.What do we really mean when we say, All children can learn ? The
Pyramid Approach was designed by Dr. George Woodrow, Jr. for use by
educators. The Pyramid is research-based. It aligns theory with
professional practice. In addition, it strives to take what we know
and provide a practical framework to effectively apply that same
knowledge in ways that promotes student achievement. The Pyramid
Approach calls attention to the need for a systematic framework
that recognizes the interconnectedness among research methods."
