Learn how to promote teacher, student, and collective efficacy 

Teachers are a school’s greatest resource. Excellent teachers make excellent schools. Leading Impact Teams taps into the scheduled team planning time every school already has, and repurposes it in a model that provides the processes needed to build teacher expertise and increase student learning. The model combines two existing practices, formative assessment and collaborative inquiry, and promotes a school culture in which teachers and students are partners in learning. Readers will learn how to:

• Build a culture of efficacy
• Take collective action
• Embed student-centered assessment in the classroom culture
• Clarify learning goals for success
• Leverage progressions of learning for "just right" instruction
• Utilize evidence-based feedback
