Take your school to the next level! What are the attributes of strong instructional leaders? How are they able to effect changes in teaching practice that has remained virtually the same for decades? This practical guide is about school leadership, but with a laser-like focus on what it takes to develop, support, and sustain quality teaching in any school environment. Grounded in research and over a decade of experience working in schools throughout the country, You Don’t Have to Be Bad to Get Better offers school leaders at every level the guidance, specific tools, and resources they need to increase teacher—and student—success. School leaders will develop: • Strategies for transitioning from a culture of fear and criticism to a culture of learning • The tools needed to hire, grow, and improve the quality of teachers under their leadership • A blueprint for engaging teachers in their own professional growth • A deep understanding of the role of district office personnel in improving both teaching and learning Research shows that the most important factor in student learning is the quality of the teacher in the classroom.
