{"product_id":"district-leadership-that-works-striking-the-right-balance","title":"District Leadership That Works: Striking the Right Balance","description":"Bridge the great divide between distanced administrative duties and daily classroom impact. This book introduces a top-down power mechanism called defined autonomy, a concept that focuses on district-defined, nonnegotiable, common goals and a system of accountability supported by assessment tools. Defined autonomy creates an effective balance of centralized direction and individualized empowerment that allows building-level staff the stylistic freedom to respond quickly and effectively to student failure.\nBenefits: Initiate second-order change to promote student achievement. Set nonnegotiable district-defined goals for achievement and instruction through a collaborative process with stakeholders. Create defined autonomy that allows teachers creative freedom while ensuring student achievement. Monitor progress through formative assessment tools.
