Spruce, Professor of EducationOlivet Nazarene UniversityUse this research-based instructional model to meet students' achievement goals!As the achievement gap between advantaged and disadvantaged students gets wider, teachers and administrators need a proven process to help all students meet the requirements of NCLB. This practitioner-friendly guidebook provides a step-by-step approach to a complete standards-based curriculum and the integration of best practices into the delivery and assessment of instruction in every classroom.The authors present three capacity-building features of the design process: (1) training for building leadership teams to help teachers plan and lead the reform process, (2) stewardship training to assist district administrators and principals in supporting and sustaining the implemented reforms, and (3) a collaborative observation process to help teachers work together and in partnership with principals to monitor and improve classroom instruction.Offering an education model that has been field-tested with more than 50 school districts in the U.S. and Canada, this book shows school leaders how to maximize collaborative observation and other team leadership processes to integrate reforms into a school's existing culture. Educators will learn ways to:Integrate instructional design with successful instructional reformStrengthen the learning culture through standardsDevelop effective performance indicatorsApply curriculum mapping to instructional designDesigning Instruction supports teachers and administrators working together to raise student achievement by using proven instructional design and best practices.
