Instructional Leadership: A Learning-Centered Guide.
Hoy, Anita Woolfolk; Hoy, Wayne Kolter
This book was written with the assumption that teachers and administrators must work as colleagues to improve instruction and learning in schools. It was written to be consistent with the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) standards for school administrators, especially Standards 1 and 2, which emphasize a learning-centered approach that focuses on students. Chapter titles reflect the book's contents: (1) "Introduction to Teaching and Learning"; (2) "Students"; (3) "Learning"; (4) "Motivation"; (5) "Teaching"; (6) "Classroom Management"; (7) "Assessing Student Learning"; and (8) "Assessing and Changing School Culture and Climate." Each chapter begins with a preview of key points and a leadership challenge, an actual problem of practice that demonstrates the chapter's contents. Each chapter concludes with a summary; a list of key terms; professional portfolio exercises (assignments for practicing the skills and using the information in the chapter); and an instructional leader's toolbox (a collection of contemporary reading, useful websites, and helpful organizations). Appended are suggestions for helping new teachers, guidelines for classroom observation, questions for job interviews, instruments for assessing school learning environments, and the ISLLC standards. It also contains an extensive list of references and a subject index. (WFA)
