In this ambitious yet pragmatic work, Joshua P. Starr makes the case that intentional and attentive district leadership can bring about continuous improvement in schools. When district reforms are conceived with social justice in mind, schools move toward fulfilling the longstanding promise of equitable education in America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarr asserts that the essential goal of good system leadership lies in designing, implementing, and sustaining comprehensive strategies for school reform, in collaboration with school leaders, educators, and community shareholders. Drawing on his own experiences and those of other distinguished superintendents, he offers core practices that system leaders can use to ensure that the mission of their district is upheld throughout any change process and that precious time and funding are used judiciously.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecognizing that there is no single path to transformation, Starr sets forth a flexible, customizable agenda for district reform that concentrates on six elements, or entry points. Starr's first entry point is curriculum content, as teaching and learning are the fundamental goals of a school system. But he goes further to advocate for a deep dive into the organization and alignment of the system itself, via deliberate support of shared values; explicit and transparent decision-making; resource allocation in line with vision and need; talent management to achieve new levels of educator performance; and nourishment of school culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdditionally, Starr brings together a wide range of real-world examples, evidence-based practices, and sensible advice to help district leaders navigate the complex terrain of school reform. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who is committed to improving the educational outcomes for all students, particularly those who are marginalized or underserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 284g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 227 x 13 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781682537282\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joshua P.
