Why have billions of dollars spent on technology, small-school initiatives, and school-choice options failed to improve our schools?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToo often, educators are simply pulling the wrong levers, say Tony Frontier and James Rickabaugh. They explain that the various components of schooling fall into five categories: \u003ci\u003estructure\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003esample\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003estandards\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003estrategy\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eself\u003c\/i\u003e. Understanding how these five \"levers\" work—and their relative power—can help unlock the potential for lasting improvements in teaching and learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors show readers that changes to \u003ci\u003estructure\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003esample\u003c\/i\u003e (how schools are organized and how students are grouped) will not be effective without changes to \u003ci\u003estandards\u003c\/i\u003e (expectations for student learning), \u003ci\u003estrategy\u003c\/i\u003e (instructional strategies to engage students in meaningful learning), and \u003ci\u003eself\u003c\/i\u003e (the set of beliefs teachers and students have about their capacity to be effective).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this book is a simple message for teachers, administrators, board members, and education policymakers at all levels: the key to success is not doing \u003ci\u003emore\u003c\/i\u003e work and making \u003ci\u003emore\u003c\/i\u003e changes, but doing the \u003ci\u003eright\u003c\/i\u003e work, and making the \u003ci\u003eright\u003c\/i\u003e changes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Association for Supervision \u0026 Curriculum Development","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47028392263920,"sku":"9781416617549","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781416617549_p0.jpg?v=1769897474","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781416617549","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
