{"product_id":"9781475813524","title":"The Pyramid Approach: A Framework for Raising Student Academic Achievement","description":"This book explains why virtually all children can achieve proficiency or higher. And it gives educators the tools to help them achieve those levels of learning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe notion that schools are “waiting for Superman” or Wonder Woman to rescue them is at best a fantasy and at worst, damaging to schools and school systems that advance this type of flawed thinking. This is why in this book the reader will be encouraged to embrace the concept that only through building effective teams (collective instructional leadership) will schools begin to realize their stated goal—educate “all” students. It may take a village to raise children but it takes collective instructional leadership to educate them. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book takes great care to ask the questions that policymakers, educators, parents, students and the larger community want answered:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan you handle the truth?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy is team leadership needed?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow do campuses improve their team dynamics?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat methods do high performing nations use to excel?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat strategies really work in high poverty schools?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere do American schools rank on the rigor scale? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat is trust and how is it developed?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat are campus learning disabilities?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow do beliefs about human capacity affect student achievement levels?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat methods motivate students to work hard?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat do we really mean when we say, “All children can learn”?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Pyramid Approach was designed by Dr. George Woodrow, Jr. for use by educators. The Pyramid is research-based; it aligns theory with professional practice. In addition, it strives to take what we know and provide a practical framework to effectively apply that same knowledge in ways that promotes student achievement. The Pyramid Approach calls attention to the need for a systematic framework that recognizes the interconnectedness among research methods.","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47183066136816,"sku":"9781475813524","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781475813524_p0.jpg?v=1769893507","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781475813524","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
