In his 2011 ASCD best-seller Focus: Elevating the Essentials to
Radically Improve Student Learning, author Mike Schmoker described
a fresh approach to K-12 teaching built on three core elements: a
focused and coherent curriculum; clear, prioritized lessons; and
purposeful reading and writing, or authentic literacy. Now, in
Leading with Focus, he shows administrators, principals, and other
education leaders how to apply his model to the work of running
schools and districts. In this companion to his previous book,
Schmoker offers: An overview of the case for simple, focused school
and district leadership-demonstrating its power for vastly
improving the work of teachers and leaders. Examples of real
schools and districts that have embraced focused leadership-and the
incredible results for student learning. A practical, flexible, and
easy-to-follow implementation guide for ensuring focused leadership
in schools and districts. All students deserve to learn in schools
where educators eschew distractions and superfluous activities to
concentrate on what's most important. To that end, this book is an
essential resource for leaders ready to streamline their practice
and focus their efforts on radically improving student learning.
