In this second edition of Improving Student Learning One Teacher at a Time, Jane E. Pollock and Laura J. Tolone combine updated research and real-world stories to demonstrate how it takes only one teacher to make a difference in student performance. Their approach expands the classic three-part curriculum-instruction-assessment framework by adding one key ingredient: feedback. This "Big Four" approach offers an easy-to-follow process that helps teachers build better curriculum documents with * Curriculum standards that are clear and well-paced, and describe what students will learn. * Instruction based in research, from daily lessons to whole units of study. * Assessment that maximizes feedback and requires critical and creative thinking. * Feedback that tracks and reports individual student progress by standards. Pollock and Tolone demonstrate how consistent, timely feedback from multiple sources can help students monitor their own understanding and help teachers align assignments, quizzes, and tests more explicitly to the standards. The Big Four shifts the focus away from the basics of what makes a good teacher toward what makes good learning happen for every student every day.

The extreme pressure principals feel today to immediately improve student achievement is crippling. Often, this leads to stress, frustration, damaged relations, and poor employee retention. Even worse, this intense pressure regularly results in the creation of systems and structures that lead to short-term increases, yet long-term decreases, in achievement. On the contrary, principals who create the time and space necessary to address climate, culture, and other non-academic issues before beginning an intense focus on teaching and learning strategically lay the foundation for extraordinary, sustainable growth in student achievement. This book is a practical guide, or playbook, on where and how to start school turnaround, which is needed more than ever today. Following two principals on their real-life leadership journeys at three unique yet very challenging schools, this book provides its readers practical and powerful strategies for, and insights into, transforming outcomes for students, teachers, leaders, and the system as a whole.

Many teachers are trained to approach their work with a set of teaching strategies and lessons that changes little over time. Because they are focused on how they teach, rather than on how their students learn, they use the same techniques day after day, making no adjustments for students' different learning needs. In "Learning-Driven Schools: A Practical Guide for Teachers and Principals," Barry Beers shows how teachers can plan, teach, and assess for student learning--and how principals can support teachers in their efforts. The book includes * An overview of the research on knowledge retention; * Real-life samples of lesson plans that address state and local standards; * Strategies on accurately assessing student learning; * Advice for teachers on addressing the needs of struggling, intermediate, and advanced students at the same time; and * Advice for administrators on conducting effective classroom observations. A rallying cry and how-to guide rolled into one, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone passionate about learning. Having served as a veteran teacher and principal himself, Barry Beers brings his own experience and understanding to bear on the essential task of ensuring that student learning remains the clear focus of our schools.
