Leading Schools with Embedded Assessment Practices prepares PreK-12 leaders to leverage assessment information toward meaningful changes at school. Principals, coaches, instructional specialists, and other leadership professionals are uniquely responsible for fostering curriculum integrity, a high-achieving climate, support for individual differences, and other aspects of a successful school. This book explores how school leaders can use assessment to foster continuous school improvement by aligning classroom and student performance, professional learning opportunities, teacher evaluation, and ongoing data-based decisions. Across these chapters, various vignettes drawn from elementary and secondary school experiences bring to life leaders’ considerations of school improvement models, the interdependence of student and teacher learning, areas of improvement for teachers, and more.
