Reeves contends that program overload not only taxes leadership resources, but actually hurts rather than improves student performance. Drawing on recent research findings, this book shows how leaders can pare down from a proliferation of initiatives to determine what is truly most important based on their local concerns, challenges, populations, and other school factors. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdentifying a specific set of leadership practices that are more strongly associated with improvements in student achievement, Reeves provides explicit guidelines for how school leaders can improve their most critical leadership decisions by simultaneously engaging in three essential strategies: monitoring teaching and leadership practices, building high degrees of efficacy among staff members, and focusing on a smaller number of priorities. \u003ci\u003eFinding Your Leadership Focus\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for new and veteran principals, teacher leaders, and PLC book study groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical guidance to help school leaders at every level to focus on what is most important and to assess their progress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis correlating three years of student achievement data and specific school leadership practices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnline video conference support by Douglas Reeves for book study groups and graduate classes who use this book.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnline downloads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Douglas B.
