Instructional Leadership

Creating Practice Out of Theory

By: Peter DeWitt

Narrated by: Marlin May

Bridge the gap between good intentions and real results.

School leaders know about instructional leadership, but may struggle with where to begin or how to balance this role with all of their other responsibilities. Peter DeWitt’s Instructional Leadership provides practical tools for delivering lasting improvement through small manageable changes over time. This step-by-step how-to guide presents the six driving forces of instructional leadership—implementation, learning, student engagement, instructional strategies, efficacy, and evaluation of impact—within an easy-to-follow, multi-stage model for implementation. It also includes:

· Practical strategies grounded in research

· “Entry point” sections highlighting the best places to start

· Help working with PLCs, faculty meetings, teacher observations, and walkthroughs

· Study questions

· Access to an updated companion website with resources on leading during COVID-19
