This book helps school and district leaders focus their curriculum and vision on the elements of instruction and assessment necessary for student achievement. Practical guidelines take administrators beyond state or local standards to create the essential conditions to ensure success in mathematics for all students. The book helps leaders identify and cultivate the elements of mathematics instruction and assessment that have the greatest impact on learning. The authors discuss ten high-leverage team actions (HLTAs) that strengthen instruction and assessment and increase student learning while implementing the Common Core State Standards or district and local standards. These teacher actions develop student understanding and skill in working with tasks with lower or higher cognitive demand. Reproducibles and appendixes in the book give leaders access to instructional strategies aligned with their state’s standards.
