leadership

"[This book] is a . . . model of professional learning that focuses on student outcomes. Unlike more traditional teacher-centered approaches that carry an implicit assumption of fixing broken teachers, student-centered coaches partner with teachers to design learning that is based on a specific objective for student learning. Teachers and coaches use data and student work to analyze progress and collaborate to make informed decisions about instruction that is differentiated and needs-based. By shifting coaching conversations from what the teacher is doing to how students are progressing in relation to a stated goal, coaching becomes both more respectful of teachers and results-based"--Provided by publisher.

" The highly anticipated follow-up to the acclaimed bestseller Start With Why Simon Sinek's mission is to help people wake up every day inspired to go to work and return home every night fulfilled by their work. His first book, Start With Why, offered the essential starting point, explaining the power of focusing on WHY we do what we do, before getting into the details of WHAT and HOW. Start With Why became an instant classic, with a loyal following among Fortune 500 companies, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, governments, and the highest levels of the U.S. Military. Now Sinek is back to reveal the next step in creating happier and healthier organizations. He helps us understand, in simple terms, the biology of trust and cooperation and why they're essential to our success and fulfillment. Organizations that create environments in which trust and cooperation thrive vastly out perform their competition. And, not coincidentally, their employees love working there. But "truly human" cultures don't just happen; they are intentionally created by great leaders. Leaders who, in hard times, would sooner sacrifice their numbers to protect their people, rather than sacrifice people to protect their numbers, are rewarded with deeply loyal teams that consistently contribute their best efforts, ideas and passion. As he did in Start With Why, Sinek illustrates his points with fascinating true stories from many fields. He implores us to act sooner rather than later, because our stressful jobs are literally killing us. And he offers surprisingly simple steps for building a truly human organization"--.
