About the Authors
With a Foreword by Yong Zhao.
More than a simple refresh, the second edition of Leading Modern Learning: A Blueprint for Vision-Driven Schools incorporates new insights, thinking, and experiences to refine approaches to, and tools for, implementing effective modern learning practices in a department, school, or district. With new Notes From the Field elements, authors Jay McTighe and Greg Curtis highlight key observations from their work with schools, including how to avoid potential missteps, misunderstandings, and time wasters that inhibit progress when implementing reform.
Using a refined blueprint for change, readers will be able to use best practices and essential frameworks to establish a vision and mission for developing an effective and modern curricula, assessments, instructional practices, and reporting. An all-new chapter on change leadership will help readers sustain their initiatives and avoid costly pitfalls. Readers will also benefit from the appendices included at the end of the book which offer lists of recommended resources organized around key categories.
