Synopsis

Effective leaders inspire growth and improved performance in those they lead. Today's students need teachers to prepare them to thrive, and teachers need leadership that encourages them to grow in their practice. This book explores the correlation between teacher quality and student achievement. K-12 leaders can implement formative assessments that create a structured and rigorous learning environment for student achievement.

Dylan Wiliam presents compelling research to give readers a clear picture of:

• Changes in classroom practice that are likely to increase learning
• Differentiated instruction (DI) and response to intervention (RTI)
• Group leadership's role in ensuring productive collaboration
• Strategies to integrate formative assessment into teacher evaluation

The author also discusses why efforts to change classroom practice have been relatively unsuccessful--and explores specific classroom tactics that do tend to raise student achievement.
