They are also co-authors of \u003cem\u003eInside School Improvement \u003c\/em\u003e(2000) and co-presenters of the Video Journal in Education series \u003cem\u003eQuestioning to Stimulate Thinking \u003c\/em\u003e(1999). These two former classroom teachers have trained hundreds of administrators and teachers across the nation in effective questioning. Their other joint ventures have focused on creating effective professional development for educators, sharing leadership for continuous school improvement, and creating a culture for high-performance learning communities. A recent example of their work is the design and delivery of professional development for school improvement specialists--consultants or staff who work to develop the capacity of schools to improve achievement for all students. They have also developed professional development modules on improving school culture (for the Southern Regional Education Board) and leading learning communities (for the Alabama Leadership Academy). Beth Dankert Sattes holds a bachelor's degree in psychology from Vanderbilt University and a master's degree in early childhood special education from Peabody College. Both Sattes and Walsh have served as faculty for the National Staff Development Council's Academy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContact Beth Sattes at beth@enthusedlearning.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 9.9 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 20, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50382024737005,"sku":"9781412960618","price":61.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/CFMqMC5R359781412960618.webp?v=1785689957","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-gb\/products\/leading-through-quality-questioning-creating-capacity-commitment-and-community-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
