This book is designed to be a valuable resource for education leaders who are charged with rapidly improving their schools and districts. In these pages, readers will find guidance, support, and resources across a range of topics and issues that they are likely dealing with including guidance on how to be an improvement leader, how to support teacher and staff development, how to ensure high quality instruction is taking place, and how to foster a positive and inclusive culture for improvement.
