Making it the top priority for school leaders and staff is not so easy - in fact, it's messy. If we want to change how students write, compute, and think, then teachers must change how they teach. They must transform the old 'assign-and-assess' model into engaging, compassionate, coherent, and rigorous instruction. The authors show school leaders how to make this happen amidst myriad distractions, initiatives, and interruptions. 606 $aTeachers$xIn-service training 606 $aSchool improvement programs 615 0$aTeachers$xIn-service training. 615 0$aSchool improvement programs. 676 $a370.711 700 $aMcCann$b Thomas M$01174401 702 $aJones$b Alan C. 702 $aAronoff$b Gail A. 702 $aMeier$b Deborah 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816135803321 996 $aTeaching matters most$94127625 997 $aUNINA
