Creating the Schools Our Children Need (Why What We're Doing Now Won't Help Much (and What We Can Do Instead) (Explore strategies that help districts increase their school improvement efforts))

Improving education in the United States requires school districts to make smart decisions. By examining the gaps between what research says works and what schools actually do, Wiliam provides evidence-based changes to implement for successful school improvement efforts. This book helps districts, school leaders, and stakeholders learn how to become critical consumers of educational research capable of increasing student achievement.

This book will help educators:

• Build a curriculum focused on developing knowledge
• Support a culture where every teacher improves
• Apply a framework for evaluating new district initiatives
