Overview
School leaders have never been busier, and many find themselves managing schools more than improving student learning. Michael McDowell helps answer the question “How do we lead instruction again?” He turns principles into practice, offering five daily moves that propel student learning: focus your aim, strengthen the core, embed what works, calibrate quickly, and make it stick. Prepare to go through the work, not around it.
K–12 school and district leaders will:
- Distinguish the few leadership actions that move student learning from the many that don’t
- Strengthen Tier 1 instruction so every student gets daily access to grade-level work
- Embed high-impact teaching routines that survive after the initial enthusiasm fades
- Run team meetings that produce classroom change in days, not months
- Build the systems and habits that hold when staff and priorities change
