Even before the No Child Left Behind Act, there was much
discouragement about educational institutions. Now, with a focus on
high-level accountability, the mood in schools has dropped even
further. Many schools are overcrowded and face the task of
educating students from varied and sometimes broken environments.
Test scores often stay low in spite of great effort expended to
improve them. Many teachers are in desperate need of retooling. All
of this can combine to produce a bleak atmosphere of failure. In
the midst of improving curriculum, instruction, and assessment--and
while working hard to improve students' test scores--attention
needs to be spent on nurturing the human spirit so that this
challenging task can continue with hope and confidence. This
resource helps educators learn successful ways to respond to
today's increasing diversity among both student body and faculty.
The author looks at what school leaders must do to invigorate and
sustain the spirits of members of their learning communities as
they drive toward achieving demanding goals. Practical tools and
strategies in every chapter help speed the translation from theory
to practice, and planning templates and completed samples offer
essential elements needed for change.
