Disrupting the Teacher Opportunity Gap
Autor Jon Saphieren Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 oct 2023
The missing element in 70 years of school reform is a surround-sound focus on High-Expertise Teaching. We could have it in any district, regardless of zip code, if we reengineered the twelve processes that impact teachers¿ knowledge and skill. A handbook for action and a persuasive case for making every school a reliable engine of constant learning, this book outlines the actions necessary to ensure High-Expertise Teaching reaches more children, more of the time.
Informed by a substantial research base and decades of implementation, scholar-practitioner Jon Saphier presents the foundational elements of High-Expertise Teaching in this capstone work, along with
- A comprehensive plan for effective implementation to scale
- An assets-based approach to high expectations, culturally responsive teaching, and rigor
- Templates for re-engineering school- and district-based processes
- Guidance for leaders on honing their own skills to implement change
