Leaders cannot influence the quality of teaching unless they
understand how to recognize really good teaching. The most
significant challenge faced by most teachers is how best to
facilitate the learning of students who fall behind. In order to
move teaching to more effective strategies, leaders must learn how
to explain how and why learner centered teaching will enhance the
achievement of all students. This essential resource covers three
core areas: 1) Understanding Recent Research on Learning; 2)
Identifying the Characteristics of Effective Teaching, and 3)
Overcoming Barriers to the Implementation of Learner Centered
Teaching. Murphy and Alexander's book introduces readers to the
research on learning and helps them develop an understanding of how
different approaches to instruction are informed by research. This
will be the textbook for the first course in the Leadership for
Learning curriculum, Facilitating Effective Learning for All
Students. The Leadership for Learning curriculum is a joint venture
between AASA and Canter/Sylvan Learning to create a new educational
administration program that will be available on-line and at
universities, including Vanderbilt.
