Results Now: How We Can Achieve Unprecedented Improvements in Teaching and Learning

(July 2006 Member Book)

 

Mike Schmoker

 

Synopsis

What would make a good school even better and great schools the norm? Author Mike Schmoker answers that question and describes a sure route to immensely better schools in any community. Using research evidence, case studies, and anecdotes from all kinds of schools, this book identifies the most pervasive obstacles to school improvement—such as teacher isolation—and explains how to overcome them. Schmoker provides practical guidance on how educators can exceed expectations and close achievement gaps.

This interview was conducted by Director of ASCD Book Acquisitions & Development Scott Willis.
