A new leadership paradigm for increasing collaboration and boosting achievement!
In today′s educational environment, school leaders must find new ways to create a positive school climate for staff and students while helping them meet rigorous testing and accountability requirements.
The School Leader′s Guide to Learner-Centered Education introduces a transformative leadership model for creating and sustaining a learner-centered school environment. Using core principles of educational psychology, the authors examine how educators can support student growth, development, and achievement by focusing on key factors such as cognition, metacognition, motivation, affect, and individual differences. Numerous reflective exercises, assessment tools, and real-life success stories help readers:
Provide moral leadership for creating school changeIncorporate learning standards without sacrificing student engagement Form learner-centered support groups that utilize networking and technologyPrepare students for the challenges of global citizenshipPromote success for diverse populations and marginalized groupsDesigned to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving world, this new leadership paradigm provides school principals, superintendents, and district leaders with the means to engage all members of the educational community in a lifelong process of growth, improvement, and empowerment.
