Simply better

Description

We already know what works in schools; we just need to focus on getting it right. This is the premise of Simply Better: Doing What Matters Most to Change the Odds for Student Success, which offers a practical, research-based framework for improving student achievement. According to author Bryan Goodwin, decades of research have shown time and again that focusing on the following five essential practices can vastly increase students' chances of doing well in school: Guaranteeing that instruction is challenging, engaging, and intentional; Ensuring curricular pathways to success; Providing whole-child student supports; Creating high-performance school cultures; Developing data-driven, high-reliability district systems. Whether at the district, school, or classroom level, educators don't need to reinvent the wheel or pursue the latest trends to ensure that students succeed. This powerful book reveals what research clearly shows works best in schools, and provides an valuable blueprint for turning that knowledge into visible results. - Back cover.
