In Systems for Instructional Improvement, Paul Cobb and his
colleagues draw on their extensive research to propose a series of
specific, empirically grounded recommendations that together
constitute a theory of action for advancing instruction at scale.
The authors outline the elements of a coherent instructional
system; describe productive practices for school leaders in
supporting teachers' growth; and discuss the role of district
leaders in developing school-level capacity for instructional
improvement. Based on the findings of an eight-year
research-practice partnership with four large urban districts
investigating their efforts to enhance middle school math
instruction, the authors seek to bridge the gap between the
literature on improving teaching and learning and the literature on
policy and leadership. They look at the entire education system and
make recommendations on improvement efforts with a focus on student
learning and teachers' instructional vision. In particular, the
authors offer insights on the interplay among various supports for
teacher learning, including pullout professional development,
coaching, collaborative inquiry, the most instructionally
productive uses of principals' time, and the tensions that tend to
emerge at the district level. They provide a guide for
district-level leaders in organizing their work to support
significant teacher learning. Systems for Instructional Improvement
provides an invaluable resource for school and district leaders,
while outlining a clearly focused agenda for future research.
