What specific leadership practices make a real difference in school effectiveness? How should school leaders use these practices in their day-to-day management of schools and during the stressful times that accompany major change initiatives? Robert J. Marzano, Timothy Waters, and Brian A. McNulty provide answers to these and other questions in <i>School Leadership That Works</i>. <P>Based on their analysis of 69 studies conducted since 1970 that met their selection criteria and a recent survey of more than 650 building principals, the authors have developed a list of 21 leadership responsibilities that have a significant effect on student achievement. Readers will learn <br>* the specific behaviors associated with the 21 leadership responsibilities; <br>* the difference between first-order change and second-order change and the leadership responsibilities that are most important for each; <br>* how to work smart by choosing the right work that improves student achievement; <br>* the advantages and disadvantages of comprehensive school reform models for improving student achievement; <br>* how to develop a site-specific approach to improving student achievement, using a framework of 11 factors and 39 action steps; and <br>* a 5-step plan for effective school leadership. <P>Combining rigorous research with practical advice, <i>School Leadership That Works</i> gives school administrators the guidance they need to provide strong leadership for better schools. 117713 30 9 2005 SCHOOL LEADERSHIP THAT WORKS: From Research to Results total:18|5:2|4:10|3:4|2:2|1:0| 18 66 32 3 0 0 false false Sun Jan 18 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 18:27:28 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 18:28:37 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Aug 01 22:22:59 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 30 21:36:13 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 01 22:22:59 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Thu Aug 21 15:42:08 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 21 15:42:52 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Nov 10 06:59:23 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 10 06:59:23 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 15 13:20:45 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 13:20:45 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Oct 01 22:11:33 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 22:11:40 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Oct 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 17:25:36 -0700 2009 Mon Nov 02 15:27:34 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Sep 25 17:48:32 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 17:48:32 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 09 07:55:07 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 07:55:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 18 04:28:36 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 18 04:28:36 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 11 03:57:31 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 03:57:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 08 21:54:41 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 08 21:54:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 25 18:19:14 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 18:19:14 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jun 14 09:44:36 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 09:52:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 12 18:14:53 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 18:14:53 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 12 16:04:43 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 16:04:43 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Apr 26 20:00:43 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 20:33:25 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Apr 08 05:03:59 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 08 05:03:59 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Mar 23 09:02:03 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 23 09:02:03 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Mar 19 19:27:40 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 19 19:27:59 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=122271
