Synopsis

Sound bites of wisdom for successful school improvement

This is no ordinary how-to manual. Researcher Joseph Murphy infuses experiences and humor into oft-debated methods of school improvement. School leaders, teachers, and improvement-minded audiences will find a collection of daily reflections that motivate, amuse, and inspire. This book presents more than 70 short, digestible lessons on what works, what doesn't, and what matters most in the world of high-stakes testing and accountability, such as:

• Prevention trumps remediation
• Context always matters
• School improvement is about layering small gains
