How can we systemically improve the quality of classroom
instruction and the learning and achievement of students? In an era
when isolated examples of excellence are not good enough, we need
systems that support improvement and excellence for all. This book
describes how systems can effectively engage in this complex,
challenging, and crucial work. The authors explore three core
competencies of high-performing school systems: (1) understanding
what the work is—a deep understanding of the core business of
facilitating learning, a vision of what that looks like, and an
awareness of where the system is in relation to that vision; (2)
knowing how to do the work—a theory of action for improving
instruction, a focus on key strategies, and effective alignment of
resources; and (3) building the individual and organizational
“habits of mind” that foster continuous improvement. Each
chapter includes examples that illustrate key concepts in action,
questions to spur self-assessment in key areas of competence, and
tools and resources for building capacity at different levels and
stages of development.
