EXPERT

& QA

Sharon V. Kramer, author

Why did you write School Improvement for All? We have been working with schools that (1) show poor student academic performance or (2) previously showed growth and have since plateaued. Through focused long-term work addressing leadership, culture, collaborative teams, assessment, instruction, data analysis with a targeted team response, and a relentless focus on student learning, we have seen dramatic improvements in student achievement.

From those experiences we decided it would be helpful to have a resource with a framework for school improvement that guides the changes required on the school improvement journey.

What will educators find most valuable in this resource?

Throughout the book, there are many examples, templates, and protocols for teams to review and use as they chart a course for school improvement. Each chapter shares one aspect of the school improvement process and ends with a rubric for teams to use to assess their current reality and next steps as they work to improve student learning. This is a how-to framework that guides the improvement process and addresses targeted needs.

What challenges will it help them overcome?

We know educators are working hard to improve student learning because we have been honored to experience it time and time again in multiple schools and districts. This book will channel those efforts as

Sarah Schuhl, author

schools face the challenge of preparing each student to learn grade-level standards. To meet that challenge, educators themselves will be challenged to shift practices and structures, which will be addressed in a supporting manner throughout the text. This book helps schools harness the power within to improve learning for all students.

What do you feel is the next step in your work to support teachers?

School improvement is not a quick fix. It requires deep second-order change and a critical analysis of current and historical practices, coupled with the drive and willingness to make those changes. We problem-solve with schools to see what is already being done to make a difference in learning and what needs to be addressed as a catalyst for greater changes in that learning. Once needs are identified, we work with teachers and administrators through job-embedded coaching and trainings to grow adult practices and positively impact the lives of students.

PLC at Work® Evidence of Effectiveness Book Study GREATER HARTFORD ACADEMY OF THE ARTS MIDDLE SCHOOL, CONNECTICUT

CHALLENGE DEMOGRAPHICS

› 320 Students › 59% Free and reduced lunch › 3% Limited English proficient › 18% Special education › 40% Hispanic › 29% African American › 28% Caucasian › 3% Multiracial Operated by the Capitol Region Education Council (CREC),

Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts (GHAA) opened its doors in 2012. In its first year of operation, nearly all of the school’s staff were brand-new teachers. They were immediately tested in the first month when almost 80 percent of students scored below proficient on the district’s first common assessment. The school knew they needed to take immediate action.

BOOKS STUDIED GHAA principal Bo Ryan, literacy coach Sarah Henry, and assistant principal Brendan Hines read and discussed more than 50 Solution Tree books that were used for learning, sharing, creating, and research. To see the complete book study list, visit SolutionTree.com/GHAA

Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts is an interdistrict magnet school program serving students from Hartford and nearly 60 surrounding suburban districts.

See page 6.

See page 10.

See page 13.

IMPLEMENTATION The staff of GHAA started building a professional learning community, relying on dozens of Solution Tree books to guide them on their journey. During the team’s first professional development session, they used reproducibles from Learning by Doing by Richard DuFour, Rebecca DuFour, Robert Eaker, Thomas W. Many, and Mike Mattos to build shared knowledge and begin creating their own vision, mission, and collective commitments.

“In the last five years, we have used a variety of resources from Solution Tree to help improve our school,” said Principal Bo Ryan. “During this time, we did not have the money to attend a professional development event or to have a consultant visit

IMPLEMENTATION (CONTINUED) our school. I just bought the books, read everything possible, and shared the information with my instructional coach and assistant principal. We discussed the content and created a plan for school improvement.”

The leadership team worked to embed professional learning into the school day, with every meeting focusing on student learning. Teachers were given 80 minutes of planning time daily and were provided

numerous collaborative learning opportunities: professional learning walks, peer visits, prior-to-unit planning, end-of-unit analysis, collaborative planning, coaching with specialists, early-intervention meetings, and student-support meetings. The school also set aside four hours of professional development time monthly.

RESULTS GHAA became a true professional learning community with a relentless focus on helping all students achieve at high levels. After the initial common formative assessment (CFA) in September 2012, GHAA administered two additional CFAs in December 2012 and in February 2013, with incredible results.

In 2014, the school was identified as “Progressing” by the Connecticut State Department of Education.

A Progressing school is one that has shown significant progress toward closing the achievement gap and improving overall student performance. GHAA also earned national recognition as a model PLC school on AllThingsPLC.info.

EXPERT

& QA

Anthony Muhammad, author

What inspired you to develop books and professional development focused on transforming school culture?

After spending nearly 20 years as a public school educator, I decided to enter the world of consulting as a PLC advocate.

As I worked with schools on the implementation of the PLC process, I found that some schools seemed more prepared to benefit from the guidance, and others were resistant to the ideas, no matter how profound the argument. This experience inspired me to start to research the impact of culture on school performance. I wanted to understand why some cultures were healthy and some were toxic and to provide practitioners with a sound, research-based set of strategies that anyone could use to transform their culture.

What will educators find most valuable in your resources and professional development?

What’s new in your second edition of Transforming School Culture?

The latest edition features new insight into the four types of educators, as well as new supporting research. I explore connections to the Every Student Succeeds Act and Common Core State Standards, and reflect on No Child Left Behind’s impact on education. Finally, chapter 9 is brand new and offers answers to questions I have frequently been asked since the first edition of Transforming School Culture was released in 2009. These questions and answers center on school culture, leadership, Believers, Tweeners, Survivors, and Fundamentalists.

FEATURED BOOK

I think educators will find my resources are logical, effective, and make good common sense. I also think they will find my writing to be an effective balance of empirical evidence and practical ideas. Readers will be able to easily identify with the dilemmas presented in my literature and be able to find effective ways to solve those problems.

What challenges will it help them overcome?

The school culture resources will help educators in several ways. First, they will be able to understand the social dynamics and conditions that make progressive change difficult. Understanding is half the battle. Secondly, they will be able to gain insight into what strategies and behaviors prepare people for embracing change and what behaviors undermine the change process. Finally, educators will understand and be prepared to engage the entire school community in the process of collaboration and producing an environment where all students can thrive.

EXPERT

& QA

Austin Buffum, author

Mike Mattos, author

Janet Malone, author

Why is the RTI at Work™ process so important to ensure learning for all?

What are three big takeaways from this book?

We did not create RTI or MTSS—we are educators who worked collaboratively with our colleagues to successfully turn this powerful research into daily practice. Through our journeys, we learned that the best way for an organization to successfully implement RTI practices is when it functions as a professional learning community (PLC).

Being practitioners has helped us develop the simplified approaches, practical processes, and proven tools needed to effectively respond when students need additional time and support. The RTI at Work process is grounded in proven research but, equally important, it has been tested, revised, and validated in the real-world conditions that educators face daily.

First, we hope that readers will come to regard this as truly a “handbook,” not a “shelf book.” This book is dedicated to providing the rationale, tools, and specific coaching tips to shift from talking about something to taking action. We see it as a constant resource to those embracing the mission of ensuring learning for all.

How will your new book Taking Action help support educators in their RTI work?

Taking Action will, as its title implies, inspire educators to take action as they strive to implement a multitiered support system that ensures all students learn at high levels. This comprehensive resource provides everything that a site leadership team needs to not only learn about RTI but, even more importantly, to do the right work. For each essential action, the book includes a detailed description of the work itself, along with clearly delineated roles and responsibilities for successfully getting the work done.

Second, the chapters in this book are organized around the RTI at Work Pyramid. This makes it clear to the reader which tier is being discussed and which team(s) should take the lead responsibility in taking the action steps associated with that tier.

Finally, Taking Action provides readers with more tools to actually do the work than any of our previous books. Along with the tools are detailed and pragmatic directions on how to use the tools, as well as coaching tips.

Evidence of Effectiveness HALLSVILLE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT HALLSVILLE, TEXAS

CHALLENGE DEMOGRAPHICS

Hallsville Independent School District began a significant schoolimprovement initiative to ensure high levels of learning for all students. “We had a committed staff, but no system to support and coordinate their efforts,” recalls Deputy Superintendent Paula Rogers. “This required a change in the culture of every school from ‘my kids’ to ‘our kids’ and the implementation of systematic practices to ensure that all classrooms had a guaranteed and viable curriculum.”

“It was critical for us to have a systematic process to provide prescriptive interventions to support learning. We needed to change how we worked. Every aspect of curriculum, instruction, and assessment had to be addressed, including the necessary structures to support this change,” said Rogers.

IMPLEMENTATION In order to implement PLC at Work® and RTI at Work™ practices into one cohesive system, district, building, and team leaders studied the book Simplifying Response to Intervention and used the four critical questions of a PLC as their framework. The district committed to working as a high-functioning PLC at every campus and embedded RTI practices into daily work.

Each campus developed a systematic process so that team meetings and data-review meetings were built into the schedule.

Frequently reviewing data on all students, beginning at Tier 1, allowed staff to monitor and change instruction before students failed, and assign and change interventions as needed. All campuses altered their schedules to provide intervention during the school day. Various options such as enrichment periods and shared tutorials were utilized for students needing academic support.

“The intense focus on high achievement for every student that is present in our district today is a result of having RTI embedded into the daily work of a PLC.”

—Paula Rogers, Solution Tree, RTI at Work associate, and deputy superintendent, Hallsville ISD, Texas

IMPLEMENTATION (CONTINUED) “The true change in how we work came from having RTI experts from Solution Tree visit our district on several occasions,” says Rogers. “This allowed us to personalize the training and engage in valuable coaching conversations. Our relationship with Solution Tree is very much a partnership. Our success would not have been possible without the ongoing training each of these experts has provided. They have been available to support us every step of the way.”

An inclusive Positive Behavior, Interventions, and Support (PBIS) program was put into place to provide support, beginning at Tier 1, to students with behavioral challenges. All interventions are now provided in addition to core classroom instruction. Utilizing data to improve instruction and to assign, monitor, and change interventions for students became part of the daily work throughout the district.

& QA

Timothy D. Kanold, author

Why is the Every Student Can Learn Mathematics series so important to mathematics education?

Mathematics at Work™ is built on the fundamental belief that every K–12 student can learn mathematics.

The sustainable and research-affirmed actions outlined in the series are designed to help teachers of mathematics learn together and have some fun in order to: • Gain deeper insight into the essential mathematics team agreements as part of the PLC at Work® process.

• Reflect on current practice using team discussion protocols, author stories, and reflection activities for their daily work.

• Examine research and best-practice design routines for unit assessments, daily instruction, daily homework, unit grading, and subsequent schoolwide mathematics intervention.

How will the series help teachers and administrators work together to achieve mathematics excellence?

Mathematics Assessment and Intervention in a PLC at Work® teaches the use of eight criteria for writing highly effective mathematics assessments.

Mathematics Instruction and Tasks in a PLC at Work® shows how to use six research-affirmed lesson design criteria to help students persevere and actively engage in the mathematics of the lesson. Mathematics Homework and Grading in a PLC at Work® shares how to use eight criteria for highly effective homework assignments, the scoring of those assignments, and the creation of efficient and effective grading routines.

What are three big takeaways from this series?

Sustained equity and improvement in mathematics requires: 1.

A focus on student agency and confidence in doing mathematics.

2.

Teachers to focus on research-affirmed instructional design criteria in mathematics.

3.

Teachers to possess mathematics assessment literacy, including intervention and grading routines coherent from teacher to teacher and homework routines that effectively engage students in necessary practice.

The Every Student Can Learn Mathematics series provides the teacher team actions necessary to achieve these ambitious expectations.

IMPLEMENTATION District leaders made the decision to bring Dr. Juli K. Dixon to HLPUSD to lead a one-day training for principals and teachers.

Afterward, teachers were asked if they would be interested in summer professional development—the answer was an overwhelming yes.

HLPUSD began partnering with Solution Tree’s DNA Mathematics experts to drive excellence in mathematics instruction.

Leadership scheduled a variety of training opportunities over several years to ensure teachers at all grade levels increased their content knowledge and depth of understanding.

Mathematics became a constant part of the district’s academic conversation and focus, with staff developing a sincere commitment to the mindset that all students have the ability to achieve in mathematics.

“The strength of the professional development is the reallife examples they bring to the table,” explained assistant superintendent Judy Fancher.

RESULTS

100%

HLPUSD’s long-term goal is for all students to complete four years of high school college-preparatory mathematics. Since working with DNA Mathematics, the district has seen consistent growth from year to year and continues to build capacity at the site and district levels.

“We face the moral imperative to provide all students an opportunity to learn and apply mathematics,” said Dr. Fancher. “As the global economy evolves, students, more than ever, require sophisticated math skills to increase opportunities for postsecondary education and careers.”

EXPERT

& QA

Katie White, author

What inspires or drives your work?

My work in schools and districts continues to reinforce my belief that education is fundamentally about the relationship between teachers and students. These relationships support the intellectual development of learners while, at the same time, nurturing their social, emotional, and physical needs.

My work is driven by the idea of designing and sustaining school landscapes where teachers are empowered to make the best decisions on behalf of their very capable learners.

What makes Softening the Edges unique?

Softening the Edges explores assessment through the lens of student investment and teacher empowerment. It proposes assessment strategies and approaches in all areas of assessment: preassessment, formative assessment, self-assessment, summative assessment, and reporting.

In the book, I identify specific ways the edges can become hard in our assessment practices and give practical solutions for softening the edges that teachers can implement immediately. Discussions about assessment rarely begin with the student, but this book starts with the students and works its way out to the teacher, the students’ families, and then stakeholders.

What challenges will this book help educators overcome?

unpacking standards, identifying learning targets, and designing and interpreting assessment information with the art of assessment that addresses our most human qualities.

I offer clear examples of how to design learning continuums that identify the targets within learning goals from a student perspective. Also, each chapter contains reflective questions that explore both teacher and student relationships with assessment and guide shifts in assessment practices to invite student investment and teacher efficacy.

What is the focus of your next book, Unlocked?

Unlocked: Assessment as the Key to Everyday Creativity in the Classroom explores two important big ideas. First, it explores the importance of investing time in creative processes in every classroom at every grade level. Second, it discusses the creative cycle and explores specific assessment strategies that move students from one creative stage to the next, ensuring they deepen their thinking, take risks, and explore their own learning strengths and needs.

Evidence of Effectiveness

KILDEER COUNTRYSIDE COMMUNITY CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL DISTRICT 96 BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS

IMPLEMENTATION DEMOGRAPHICS › 227 Teachers › 3,054 Students › 11.3% Free and reduced lunch › 10% Limited English proficient › 13.6% Special education › 21.2% Asian/Pacific Islander › 7.7% Hispanic › 6.4% Other › 1.3% African American

Kildeer began with the question: what is it we expect our students to learn? Their work centered around the development of a guaranteed and viable curriculum districtwide. The next step was focued on the question: how will we know when students have learned it? Teacher teams worked together to develop common formative assessments and district benchmark assessments to measure student progress and establish appropriate instruction, interventions, and extensions.

RESULTS Kildeer saw a steady rise in districtwide average Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) scores. Most impressive is the comparison of ISAT indices based on students with Individualized Education Plans (IEP). Compared to the statewide score of 89.9, Kildeer achieved an index of 101.5. Across Kildeer, IEP reading scores increased from 62.3 percent to 81.8 percent. IEP math scores increased from 66.9 percent to 87.7.

EXPERT

& QA

Robert J. Marzano, author

What motivated you to write The New Art and Science of Teaching, and why now?

The New Art and Science of Teaching is an update of my 2007 book The Art and Science of Teaching: A Comprehensive Framework for Effective Instruction.

The main reason I decided to write The New Art and Science of Teaching is that the original version was written ten years ago, and a great deal of new research has been conducted on effective instruction. The growing body of new research was so compelling that an update of the model was necessary.

What new insights will educators find in this book?

The most significant new insight is that each instructional strategy a teacher uses has a specific intended effect. These effects are either a mental process or a mental state on the part of students.

For example, the instructional strategy of providing opportunities for students to talk about themselves is designed to produce the mental state of feeling accepted and valued by the teacher and peers. An understanding and awareness of these intended effects can make teachers much more effective.

What do you feel is your next step in your work to support educators?

For several years, research has already articulated the things we need to do to become highly effective at the school and classroom levels. What is still needed, however, is a process by which we monitor our effectiveness, celebrate successes, and make immediate corrections when needed. To this end, I’ve developed the High Reliability Schools™ model at the school level and the High Reliability Teacher™ model at the classroom level.

What prompted you to establish a book series around The New Art and Science of Teaching framework?

The New Art and Science of Teaching is a very general framework. By that, I mean it talks about instructional strategies in general, but instruction for reading is going to have some significant differences from instruction for mathematics or science. In the New Art and Science of Teaching series, subject matter experts take the framework and translate it to their particular discipline.

FEATURED BOOKS

How will The New Art and Science of Teaching help educators overcome the current challenges they face?

The book ends with a chapter on eight systems-level changes. These range in scope from getting rid of traditional lesson plans to revamping how we evaluate teachers. The basic message is that we can’t expect classroom teachers to be highly effective if schools and districts don’t make some major changes in the system that support the classroom teacher.

EXPERT

& QA What inspires or drives your work?

The dedication of teachers to students inspires me to want to be supportive and involved. I am driven by the desire to support student growth and achievement.

My goal is to find supportive solutions to academic challenges that are systematic, straightforward, and easy to implement.

What makes your book Raising the Rigor unique?

Raising the Rigor provides processes and examples to encourage student engagement in higher-order thinking skills, involvement in real-world tasks, and demonstration of concepts, in an effort to illustrate their level of understanding. It is unique in its logical approach to questioning strategies and assessment design, not only for assessment development, but also for engaging students in the creation of questions that inspire thought. The book also provides resources that support student growth in their willingness and ability to engage in thought-provoking questions and tasks that require not only knowledge and skills, but the ability to persevere.

What challenges will this book help educators overcome?

It is a challenge to create questions that engage students in various levels of sophisticated thought and application of understanding. When earning a teaching degree, little training is provided in the area of assessment development and the identification and creation of questions that lead to a quality demonstration of student understanding.

Eileen Depka, author

Raising the Rigor assists educators in question design for classroom discussion and assessment creation. It also supports the evaluation of existing assessments.

The challenge teachers face to grow levels of student achievement and increase performance on standardized and state tests is supported by the recommendations, procedures, and resources provided in Raising the Rigor.

What professional development do you offer to support this book?

The professional development I provide includes procedures that are systematic and easy to implement with the ability to impact classroom performance. My goal is to tailor professional development to meet the needs of the schools and districts so that it is useful and can have the greatest impact in the classroom. Through a combination of instruction and engagement, participants have the time and opportunity to design classroom-ready materials increasing the likelihood of implementation and success.

Implement systemic change throughout the district.

Engage district leaders in a learning experience based on the seven factors of Unstoppable Learning in which we develop a collective knowledge base and consistent vocabulary around supporting sustainable districtwide results using sound instructional practice. Leaders will identify areas of need at both the district and site level.

Leadership teams from different schools come together to focus on specific aspects of Unstoppable Learning. In subsequent sessions, artifacts brought by participants inspire deeper work and reinforce the relevance of the professional learning experience.

These customized sessions focus on key ideas based on Leadership Focused on Identifying Needs.

MULTI-DAY SUSTAINING ELA Site-Specific Coaching These schools are identified for targeted work, linking coaching and professional development over multiple sessions during the school year, with a specific focus on applying systems thinking to strengthen ELA instruction. Emphasis will be placed on the following principles: collaborative conversations and text complexity, close reading in all disciplines, writing from sources, supporting diverse language and learning needs, text-dependent questions, and promoting writing in all disciplines.

EL Site-Specific Coaching This service is for schools identified to engage in targeted work, linking coaching and professional development over multiple sessions throughout the school year. The goals of EL site coaching are to focus on how students acquire language, how they access standards, how teachers work with EL students, and various integration strategies that are used throughout the day. On-site experts work with teachers on honing their skills to service ELs in both EL and general classrooms.

Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey worked for three years with site-based instructional leadership teams comprised of the principal and one teacher per grade. Eventually, the professional development extended to all teachers districtwide.

1,200 Teachers 56% Free and reduced lunch

Participants discovered how to launch student learning by establishing clear learning targets, making learning relevant, anticipating student errors and misconceptions, and incorporating numerous strategies to invite students into learning. They also learned how to consolidate student learning—how to deliver instruction so that students would know how and when to use the information gained.

The largest K–6 district in the state of California, Chula Vista is comprised of 45 schools, including 5 charter schools. Thirty of the 40 noncharter schools receive Title I funding. The district spans suburban and urban areas from downtown San Diego to the border with Tijuana, Mexico, and serves many transborder families.

RESULTS “The results—both qualitative and quantitative—have been amazing,” says Assistant Superintendent for Instructional Services John M. Nelson. Teachers across the system are able to engage in conversations not only about what to teach and assess, but also about how to effectively use instructional practices to ensure quality teaching. The data continued to improve. Student progress, as measured by the California Standards Test in both ELA and mathematics, doubled from 2002 to 2013, the year the testing ended. During this same period, the Academic Performance Index (API), California’s growth model target, increased over 150 points.

EXPERT

& QA

Jennifer D. Klein, author

What moved you to write The Global Education Guidebook?

I wrote this book because I believe that global collaboration is what our planet needs most, and because I believe that today’s young people can lead us into an era of well-being for all. Most of the problems we face across the world are borderless challenges; to solve them, we need to raise a generation of young people who know how to collaborate in ways that honor our differences as much as the values we share. Global education, particularly global partnerships between classrooms, can help us develop that sense of intercultural connectedness throughout our children’s education, and can motivate our young people to build their lives around such work.

What makes this book unique?

Global education is a relatively new movement, and I am concerned that too much of our work still focuses on a service (deficit) model, where students with more “save” communities with less. My book is an attempt to shift that tendency, so that young people learn from and with in a way that recognizes the wisdom found in every culture around the world, whatever perceived advantages they might or might not have. It is designed for any level of experience, from helping lead “newbies” through step-by-step partnership development, to enriching the work of experienced global educators who seek to craft more equitable or controversial partnerships.

What challenges will this book help educators overcome?

Global partnerships take a lot of work and coordination; I wrote The Global Education Guidebook to be a practical handbook that helps educators navigate the challenges which inevitably arise. That includes the practical (time zones,

language differences, technology choices), and the curricular/philosophical (connecting global issues to local curriculum, developing specific global competencies in students, and building partnerships with an asset lens about what every partner brings to the discussion). I also want to give teachers the tools they need to foster and assess students’ global competencies, the most important benefit of this work.

What professional development do you offer to support this book?

I design global education workshops according to the specific needs of schools. That could include daylong or multiday workshops in which educators decide which global competencies they want to foster, identify where their existing curriculum would most benefit from global experiences, and develop partnership-based projects to reach those goals.

I also weave in project-based learning as requested, as I believe student-centered learning is a key element of global education. I always strive to inspire educators with the urgency of globalizing their students’ experiences, especially if a school is new to global education.

EXPERT

& QA What inspired you to collaborate?

Mark led Mooresville Graded School District’s (MGSD) technology transformation and based the district’s strategy on Michael’s research. It was a natural marriage for us to join forces to examine MGSD’s success from the joint perspective of practice and research. Moreover, there was very little in research or practice that provided a careful analysis of how a district could accomplish impressive systemwide learning in all of its schools while incorporating technology. We knew that the messages and lessons from MGSD were badly needed in the field, so we teamed up to identify what explained the success and what others could learn from it.

What challenges will The Power of Unstoppable Momentum help leaders solve?

If you look around the country, you will find a mishmash of how districts are using technology. All districts are purchasing technology, but very few have a clear idea about how they should use and assess it.

Superintendents were telling us that there was little practical guidance available to them in a field where they knew there would be rapid innovation and expanding demands.

Systemic change is incredibly tough work, and the fusion of pedagogy, digital resources, and cultural coherence requires deep understanding. We wrote the book to explain what success looks like and how to have an impact on learning across the district. We also share practical application and examples from MGSD and other districts that illuminate the journey for school leaders.

Michael Fullan, author

Mark A. Edwards, author

What makes The Power of Unstoppable Momentum unique?

Frankly, very few districtwide successes have been accomplished. Consequently, there is little guidance available for district leaders and school boards. Our book is unique because it captures how to achieve success over time. The book’s account of longitudinal research, as well as longitudinal practical application for effectiveness, provides a powerful “combo power drive” for readers and leaders.

What are the next steps in your work?

Our immediate next step is to help districts engage in their own successful journeys. The work we describe is in its infancy, so there will be plenty more innovations and new developments. We are inspired to keep learning, growing, and sharing because we know that this field is incredibly important for society and will develop rapidly. We want to be part of this dynamic evolution and learn from it.

Meg Ormiston, author

What inspired you to write the NOW Classrooms books?

What makes NOW Classrooms unique?

I was inspired to write the NOW Classrooms books after a site visit to Berwyn South School District 100 in Illinois, where visitors from across the country are invited to see technology in the hands of students. After the visit, I created a team of teachers, instructional coaches, and school leaders to write the series.

From kindergarten through high school, the lessons spiral and align to make a comprehensive curriculum that districts adopting technology desperately need. Each of the grade-band books is structured with a series of classroom-tested lessons written by practicing educators for educators. Each lesson has multiple curriculum connections, teaching tips, and technology options. All the books connect to core curriculum as well as elective courses, and in the high school book, career and technical education (CTE) connections are embedded into each lesson.

Our team agreed that educators need classrooms to visit where they can see good teaching and learning with technology. We realize, however, that a physical visit is not always possible; therefore, our books will help transport educators through detailed lessons.

Through our series and collaborative professional development, we plan to create a movement around teaching and learning with technology. We also created a blog and interactive website found at NowClassrooms.com.

What challenges will these books help educators solve?

The series offers solutions for the major challenge all school systems face when adopting technology for the classroom: the much-needed missing curriculum in grades K–12. Devices are now in the hands of many students, but teachers need the NOW Classrooms series to connect curriculum with the technology.

The lesson sequence in each book is aligned to the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) student standards, and multiple curriculum connections are part of every lesson.

What professional development do you offer to support these books?

Our team provides customized, hands-on professional development to educators who want to improve teaching and learning with technology. From small groups to large keynote sessions, our team creates professional development experiences that are engaging and practical. Participants will leave each session with instructional strategies they can implement in the classroom immediately.

EXPERT

& QA

Kenneth C. Williams, author

Why did you write this book?

Ken: In my work all over North America, I found that a majority of the schools committed to implementing PLCs were investing tons of time and energy but not getting improved student learning results. As you can imagine, with a lack of tangible results, it doesn’t take long to dismiss the model.

Tom: Our work with schools has indicated that every site is populated with well-meaning, well-intentioned, hard-working educators, but far too often the energy extended is not aligned. We specifically wanted this book to be an inside-out approach; the change starts within the building.

Why is this book important?

Ken: I found that schools lacked shared mission and purpose, while not lacking at all in having a mission statement. One of the driving forces behind us writing this book was to familiarize educators about the power of mission, and to provide structures and resources to make the mission ever-present in everything they do.

Tom: We have strived to put more meaning in the work behind creating a school’s purpose so that it becomes that powerful filter through which all of the actions in a school are drawn. In the absence of a mission, every action becomes a checklist activity to be completed. We believe we’ve addressed that in this book and provided a road map that all educators can follow.

Tom Hierck, author

How does embracing a collaborative culture increase student achievement?

Tom: We have met so many incredibly talented educators in our travels, and inevitably they will trace their strengths to the colleagues they are fortunate to work with. I can look back over a 34-year career and say quite clearly that anything “we” did was vastly superior to anything “I” did. Harnessing the capacity of a group of educators is the key to having all students (and adults) reach their individual potential.

What do you hope schools will learn from Starting a Movement?

Ken: We want schools to understand that this work is so much more than a mission statement. It’s about identifying the behavioral collective commitments aligned with the shared mission, and supporting them. Once schools understand how their shared mission/purpose guides every decision, every action, every expenditure, and every best practice, then they will be in a position to deliver on the promise of learning for all.

EXPERT

& QA

Robert J. Marzano, author

Why did you write this book?

As we work directly with schools and districts, we wanted to offer some ideas for implementation of the High Reliability Schools™ (HRS) framework.

The basic structure of the HRS framework has been around for several years, and we sought to help enhance the capacity of leaders within each of the five levels of HRS. This book is a blueprint for how to lead a school through the HRS perspective.

What makes this book unique?

The book gives a framework to help leaders and leadership teams ensure that different systems within a school or district work interdependently toward one common end: high levels of student achievement. A lot of leadership books tend to be theoretical, but this book gets to the more granular levels of leadership and offers specific strategies that leaders can really sink their teeth into. We also created 25 leadership reflective scales that readers can use to gauge their progress in implementing a particular piece.

How does PLC at Work® fit into the HRS framework?

The two work hand-in-hand. HRS is the long-term framework for continuous school improvement.

Embedded inside the HRS framework is the PLC at Work process, which is identified in Level 1. Building a PLC is a powerful and necessary vehicle for leadership and improvement within the HRS structure.

Philip B. Warrick, author

Cameron L. Rains, author

system that will establish and grow effective practices within every classroom, Level 2 offers a road map for that purpose. If you’re having challenges with the curriculum, Level 3 gives a step-by-step process for creating a curriculum that is guaranteed and viable. If you want to know at the individual student level what his or her strengths and weaknesses are by skill, Level 4 includes a blueprint for how to make this happen.

For schools that are ready to commit to competencybased education, Level 5 will show you the way.

What is one main takeaway from this book?

School improvement is about putting the right systems in place and then giving the entire school staff enough time to get good at them, rather than chasing quick fixes. We hope this book not only inspires leadership teams to implement effective systems and structures but also empowers them to stay the course over time to get the best results for kids.

EXPERT

& QA

Kathy Tuchman Glass, author

Your Solution Tree books share the common title (Re)designing Writing Units. What does this mean?

The books are meant to empower teachers—or those who create curriculum—to design new units of study or redesign existing units. Although mostly positioned for grades 5–12, elementary teachers can also benefit from the books by adapting what they read. When educators finish the books, it is my hope that they have a writing unit ready to pilot.

What challenges will these books help educators solve?

Often teachers are handed a textbook or a planned curriculum that they are mandated to use, and they dutifully do so. I’m invested in increasing teachers’ professionalism and building their capacity around the teaching of writing and all it entails. I provide practical and concrete suggestions, examples, and templates galore for instruction, various writing skills, and all forms of assessment, plus tools such as rubrics and checklists. These books will not only boost teachers’ professionalism but unleash their creativity as well.

What makes your books unique?

Many books feature one or more of these curricular and instruction aspects: backward-planning approach, lesson-planning models, instructional strategies, teaching methods, assessment, writing tasks, and rubrics and checklists for assessing student work.

Each of my books features the whole spectrum geared to a specific writing type and its genres, including the characteristic elements and structure.

using backward planning. Then I drill down to the lesson design stage, explain what “gradual release of responsibility” means, and share a thorough example of a lesson that readers can use in their classrooms.

Additionally, since reading and writing are intrinsically linked, I share ways that teachers can lead instruction around complex text as a vehicle to help students become better writers.

What professional development do you offer to support these books?

The customized support and guidance that I provide to educators is an extension of the work found in my books. Depending on a school’s or district’s goals, I can help educators: • Implement interactive instructional strategies for teaching writing skills • Define and devise various assessment tasks (pre-, formative, common, self-, summative) around teaching writing skills and using writing to demonstrate understanding of complex texts • Build rubrics and checklists that can be used as instructional tools • Devise lessons to meet students’ needs and boost their writing achievement • Use complex texts as a tool for teaching grammar and conventions

EXPERT

& QA

Margarita Espino Calderรณn, author

What is the heart of your message in Promises Fulfilled?

All educators have a responsibility to help ELs succeed, and this is accomplished as a team effort. Math, science, social studies, and language arts teachers must work with English language development/ESL teachers to drive whole-school success. The whole school or district must work together to provide common, consistent, and effective strategies to help ELs learn the content they need to be successful.

What challenges will this book help education leaders solve?

Promises Fulfilled shows leaders, coaches, and teachers how to implement and support/sustain their whole-school professional development and student growth. What are the steps needed to design PD for the staff? How do administrators and leaders support and coach for continued success and faithful implementation? Why is whole-school buy-in a necessity for ELs and all students to be successful?

Promises Fulfilled shows step-by-step processes to plan, analyze, implement, evaluate impact, and sustain whole-school professional development as a collective staff.

What will educators find unique in this book?

Promises Fulfilled uses the USDOJ and OCR guidelines for meeting compliance but goes far beyond that in order to create a mindset of equity and social sensitivity. Readers will see evidencebased instructional strategies and learning processes

Shawn Slakk, author

delivered through a well-described, whole-school professional development system. The book also promotes the idea that all educators can and must learn together, work together, and support each other toward self- and collective efficacy as they strive to help every student succeed.

What do you feel is the next step in your work to support educators?

With the current influx of new ELs at all levels, educators need to have every tool, strategy, and resource possible to meet the burgeoning needs of the diversity of ELs that they serve. With that in mind, we continue to work nationwide to help teachers, coaches, supervisors, and administrators work collaboratively on these challenges.

Our professional development is designed to ensure that all children have the tools and strategies for depth of knowledge, self-efficacy, and academic success.

We emphasize that the best way to do this is through whole-school implementation, allowing everyone involved to continue to grow professionally and create exciting ways for all students to grow into successful independent learners.
