It's Already Inside
Summary
If you thought that leadership - true, authentic, values-based leadership - was all about mindlessly following directives from above and managing process, policy, and data, then you most likely find that you will be frustrated by your results, success, and happiness. Authentic leadership comes from inside - a place where logic meets emotion, where people connect with people, where character is contagious, strategy is simple, and people believe they are making a difference and are changing the world they live in. It's Already Inside is a leader's journey to unlock the secret to connecting emotionally with people, finding balance, and having a more successful and happy life by inspiring others to discover their remarkable potential. Each chapter features a story-based passage with thought-provoking questions to help you unlock your own authentic greatness. You'll finish It's Already Inside with more insight, focus, and results that will bring more success, better relationships, and happiness.

Visible Learning for Literacy: Grades K-12
Summary
What if someone slipped you a piece of paper listing the literacy practices that ensure students demonstrate more than a year’s worth of learning for a year spent in school? Would you keep the paper or throw it away? We think you’d keep it. And that’s precisely why acclaimed educators Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, and John Hattie wrote Visible Learning for Literacy. They know teachers will want to apply Hattie’s head-turning synthesis of more than 15 years of research involving millions of students, which he used to identify the instructional routines that have the biggest impact on student learning. These practices are "visible" for teachers and students to see, because their purpose has been made clear, and when they are implemented at the right moment in a student’s learning, their effect is tangible. Yes, the "aha" moments made visible by design. With their trademark clarity and command of the research and dozens of classroom scenarios to make it all replicable, these authors apply Hattie’s research and show you: How to use the right approach at the right time so that you can more intentionally design classroom experiences that hit the surface deep and transfer phases of learning and more expertly see when a student is ready to dive from surface to deep Which routines are most effective at specific phases of learning, including word sorts, concept mapping, close reading, annotating, discussion, formative assessment, feedback, collaborative learning, reciprocal teaching, and many more Why the eight mind frames for teachers apply so well to curriculum planning and can inspire you to be a change agent in students’ lives and part of a faculty that embraces the idea that visible teaching is a continual evaluation of one’s impact on student’s learning
