Industry Reviews
District leaders need smart thought partners as we navigate the constantly evolving standards-based reform environment. The contributors to Challenging Standards help by sharing important perspectives on the practical, political, and philosophical tensions surrounding Common Core implementation. This useful book will help frame district leaders' thinking about key issues that inform the critical conversations that need to occur at every level of districts in order to focus educators on best ways to use standards to support improvements in teaching and learning. -- Philip D. Lanoue, PhD, PDL Consultants and 2015 AASA National Superintendent of the Year
Implementing the new standards calls for a dedicated systems approach to redefining both the organizational structures and resource allocation that enable both students' and professionals' learning experiences. Supovitz and Spillane capture this challenge in a superb 360 degree panoramic look at CCSS implementation that must be operationalized at all levels-from the statehouses and district offices down to the schools. This book serves as a blueprint to shift from what we have traditionally expected from the public school experience to what our students need to compete on a global level. Their contributors explore CCSS in realistic terms, providing a strong link from theory to practice, in context and action, for leaders across the spectrum of public education. -- Mark Shanoff, EdD, principal, Ocoee Middle School, An Apple Distinguished School, Ocoee, FL, president-elect, Florida Association of School Administrators, national distinguished principal, State of Florida
Wow, what a useful book! Every policymaker urgently needs this books concepts, comprehensive components, and detailed roadmap to help create successful implementation of Common Core in systems, schools and classrooms. Supovitz and Spillane have assembled a set of authors whose essays bring together a rare combination of evidenced-based research and effective practical applications that can be tailored to bring standards implementation to life in various school and district contexts. -- Michael Kirst, president, California State Board of Education, professor emeritus, Stanford University
