Leaders Make it Happen! provides administrators with both the research and practical applications on how to make improvements at the classroom, school, and district levels using Data Teams. Data Teams impact curriculum, lesson design, assessment, and school improvement—areas where the principal and leadership team have tremendous influence and responsibility.

Leaders Make It Happen! will delight the reader with practical, proven practices and clearly defined protocols, while helping leaders avoid common pitfalls and build capacity through the Data Teams process. Whether you are a high- or low-performing school or district, or even one in the middle, if you are looking to make continuous progress, Leaders Make it Happen! is the book for you.

Years of experience with this powerful and proven best practice have also taught the authors that deep implementation requires active, engaged leadership to provide the supports necessary for teachers to venture outside of their comfort zones and, in many cases, outside of unspoken cultural norms. This book will give you not only the most current research findings, but also the processes, structures, and tools leaders need in order to move all students forward.
