Sommario/riassunto

Written for primary and secondary school administrators and teacher leaders, 'Accelerating Student and Staff Learning' presents a model for professional development centred around conversations about curriculum. The author shows how school leaders can raise student performance by focusing the attention of professional learning communities (PLCs) on curriculum design. The book emphasizes the essential role of leaders in nurturing, inspiring, and challenging PLCs to engage in the critical work of curriculum design.
