Written for leaders who support teachers, this guide treats educational change as a process of renovation, rather than process of revolution, and emphasizes building upon, refining and sustaining the many good things happening in today's schools. Practical and user-friendly, it emphasizes five key principles for learning and teaching: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eEngaging students\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSustaining inquiry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNurturing self-regulated learners\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCreating assessment-rich learning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnhancing learning through digital technology \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs a balanced and reasoned response to the challenges and opportunities facing schools, this book separates the rhetoric of school reform from reality by analyzing what's actually happening and offering a plan educators can use.

Too many seem to ignore that there are many good things worth preserving in our schools and others that need to be reframed or recast to give them greater currency. This book builds on what has worked and makes it better. The message - being purposeful and patiently focused on long-term success - is a powerful one that needs to be heard above the din.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDavid Chojnacki, Executive Director \u003cbr\u003e Near East South Asia Council of Overseas Schools\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGarfield Gini-Newman\u003c\/strong\u003e blends humor with a deep understanding of effective curriculum design centered on the infusion of critical thinking for all.
