Teacher team leaders, this book is for you. It will build your knowledge and skills in approaches and actions that get more done in less time, and with greater joy, to help your team truly become the engine that drives the most promising strategy for improving student achievement.

When leaders foster a culture of frequent, specific recognition in their school system, it allows collaborative teams to function at high levels. In this book, the authors demonstrate how celebrating the “right work” of professional learning communities stimulates the culture shift necessary for successful PLC implementation.

Exploring strategies for addressing implicit bias, tackling chronic absenteeism, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement, author Anthony Muhammad and other expert educators provide strategies to inspire teachers, empower English learners, and navigate resistance to change.
