What does research tell us about the effects of school leadership
on student achievement? What specific leadership practices make a
real difference in school effectiveness? How should school leaders
use these practices in their day-to-day management of schools and
during the stressful times that accompany major change initiatives?
Robert J. Marzano, Timothy Waters, and Brian A. McNulty provide
answers to these and other questions in School Leadership That
Works. Based on their analysis of 69 studies conducted since 1970
that met their selection criteria and a recent survey of more than
650 building principals, the authors have developed a list of 21
leadership responsibilities that have a significant effect on
student achievement. Readers will learn: The specific behaviors
associated with the 21 leadership responsibilities. The difference
between first-order change and second-order change and the
leadership responsibilities that are most important for each. How
to work smart by choosing the right work to focus on to improve
student achievement. The advantages and disadvantages of
comprehensive school reform models for improving student
achievement. How to develop a site-specific approach to improving
student achievement, using a framework of 11 factors and 39 action
steps. A five-step plan for effective school leadership. Combining
rigorous research with practical advice, School Leadership That
Works gives school administrators the guidance they need to provide
strong leadership for better schools.
