While lots of books on school improvement help you focus on the details of standards alignment, assessments, or instruction, here’s a book that brings all the isolated components together into a comprehensive and sensible framework.Using the four critical criteria for successful school improvement, Danielson outlines everything that educators have to do to ensure optimum student learning, including school organization, team planning, and teaching practices. Rubrics at the end of each chapter help you evaluate how your policies and programs support your improvement effort. Plus, an action planning guide helps you implement the framework based on evidence of improvement.
