REVIEWS:

I don't usually like reading, but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this book! Although I am currently a teacher, I found this book a life-saver even to be used to teach me how to teach more effectively. Starting from data-driven instruction (always the go-to step), it is golden! It is somewhat similar to the book I read- The Breakthough Principals. These books are direct and precise in what to do in all kinds of situations. I just feel so much more confident in leading because now I am more knowledgeable in how to lead. You cannot live without this book if you are a leader in a school!

I love the book and its contents: the information is immediately applicable and relevant. My only gripe is that I cannot download the DVD .zip file from the website. I have tried from several different wifi and network locations, but the download stops midway through every time.

Interesting side note: I recently conducted a reference check for a teacher I wish to hire for my school and the person providing the reference is one of the principals featured in this book.

Paul has few peers in the crusade to ensure school leaders have high fidelity, high priority practices critical to grow the capacity of their teachers so they can, in turn, ensure student growth...and school leaders are so thankful!
