EXPERT
& QA How does this plan book help teams collaborate more effectively? We really wanted to create a book that teams could sit down and work on together. It’s very flexible—it’s designed in a way where each collaborative team can take it and individualize it. In addition to the planning pages, the book also includes big-picture concepts, which are great for when educators need a quick reference, a refresher, or some food for thought around a particular topic. The reality is that educators can’t pay attention to everything. They must commit their time to things that are essential. This book is about focusing on the right work and taking action. Will both new and veteran teams benefit from using it? We believe that everyone can benefit from this book. If you’re a brand-new team, for instance, then you will likely find the Year at a Glance section particularly helpful, as it will help structure your work. If you’re a new team member, you might not fully understand “the why” behind certain actions, but the plan book covers these topics. For experienced team members who already have a good part of the process down, the plan book provides helpful tidbits and insights, as well as reminders, new considerations, and common pitfalls. Does this book help teams identify essential standards?
Kim Bailey, author
Chris Jakicic, author
work collaboratively and build consensus as a team. Once essential standards are identified, they can go back and look at state test data and any blueprints available from their state. This way they’re able to really determine whether their students will be prepared for the next course and grade level, as well as for state tests. This work is powerful. And teams that have gone through the process really see the benefit. How does this book fit into the current educational landscape? We’re in a unique situation in education right now. In our view, the three big ideas and the four critical questions of PLC at Work are really going to be the key to getting schools through this time. Teams that have been functioning as a PLC report that they are really seeing its true power during COVID. They’re able to have collective efficacy, put a laser-focus on their work, and continue to impact student learning.

Absolutely! There are a variety of protocols in the plan book. First, the collaborative team will sit down together to review all the standards— whether they have 50, 60, or even 90 plus—and then use the criteria listed in the book to determine which are most important. The key is that educators

in the cohortWestmont’s (2017) of Though small in size with just 36 first teachers, the Arkansas Department PLC collaborated to create action plans and form ® of Education’s PLC at Work project. SMART goals to plan meaningful interventions for SolutionTree.com/Arkansas students. More importantly, though, the staff engaged
IMPLEMENTATION After identifying the need for a more collaborative, transparent culture to do what’s best “for all our kids,” Quitman Assistant Superintendent and K-12 Co-principal Michael Stacks, and K-12 Co-principal Julie Wallace worked with Solution Tree associate Regina Stephens Owens to strategically establish a guiding coalition comprised of representatives from every grade. This ensured that all educator voices were brought together and heard, applying the district’s mission, vision, values, and goals to all district functions, from hiring to scheduling to making financial decisions. Formerly elementary and high school principals respectively, Wallace and Stacks decided to share a K-12 co-principal position as one of the many commitments to the larger collaborative culture.
RESULTS The district now operates under a more streamlined and inclusive, collaborative environment. For example, an educator who is best prepared to teach a particular strategy or concept may welcome students or instructors from other grade levels or subjects to benefit from her expertise in that area. Quitman has seen a 16 percent growth in enrollment, and staff turnover is down. In addition, overall student achievement has increased. In two years, the district saw 100 percent growth on math and English language arts assessments for grades K-2. In addition, Quitman High School had the 12th-greatest overall growth on ACT Aspire among all high schools in Arkansas.

If differentiated instruction works for diverse student learning needs, why not apply it to teacher learning? A practical guide for designing school or district professional development plans, this book explains a three-step model that is core to the differentiation process.

EXPERT
& QA
Anthony Muhammad, author
What inspired you to become an educator? When I was in high school, the teacher who inspired me most was my accounting teacher. And during high school, I actually participated in a citywide accounting competition in Flint, Michigan, and won. Number one in the city—I thought I was hot stuff. But then I went to college, and there was a series of advanced math classes that I had to take to actually be admitted into the college of business to be an accounting major. And I couldn’t get past the math classes. This ended up being a blessing because it steered me toward education.
Any words of advice now that issues of inequity are coming to the forefront? I’d encourage everyone to take full advantage of this moment of clarity we are experiencing as a society. For instance, with the Me Too Movement, women gained a stronger voice, and they started to really address issues. And women always felt this way but may not have felt courageous enough or empowered enough to challenge what was clearly misogynistic. I hope our society is forever changed because of that movement. And I hope that the same impression is left by this new justice movement. People are seeing the issue with new eyes.
What was your experience as a new teacher? I taught seventh-grade social studies and loved it. Believe it or not, at the time I was one of only five black male teachers under the age of 25 in the whole state of Michigan. This was back in 1991. I mean, I was like a unicorn. I had my pick—I could go anywhere. I chose Lansing because I had gone to school in East Lansing. I asked the superintendent to put me in the toughest place he had. And I did that because I knew those kids were just like me and the friends that I grew up with. My theory was that if I could get to kids early and prove that they are not irredeemable throwaways that I could do something worthwhile.
You currently have two new books in the works. What are they about, and how will they help support educators? The first one is awesome—it’s the second edition of Revisiting Professional Learning Communities at Work®, which I’m co-authoring with the great Robert Eaker and Mike Mattos. I think it’s probably the greatest way of honoring the late Richard and Rebecca DuFour, who wrote the first edition. Because the work outlives the person, and this is how they would have wanted it. Their voice is preserved in this new edition, but we’ve added the latest insights, information, and research about the PLC at Work process. And my hope is that by the 10th edition, there’ll be a new author that continues to build on the work. My other new book, which I’m co-authoring with Douglas Reeves, is in the beginning stages and is in response to the call for racial and social equity.
You have six children—are any going to be teachers? No, unfortunately. With how teachers are compensated, you can’t blame young people for making different choices. I hope that legislators realize this and don’t deprioritize education, because it’s an easy target. It’s hard to say, “let’s cut military funding.” Because there’s a public sentiment around the military. It’s hard to say, “let’s cut Medicare or Medicaid.” But then we start this narrative about teachers—that they get paid a lot, that they get the summers off, that schools aren’t performing. These are the myths that Rick DuFour addresses in his book In Praise of American Educators. If this narrative begins and it’s not checked, I would not be shocked if education funding is gutted. Why would a 19 year-old choosing a career say they want to be a part of that? Maintaining or increasing education funding, even in an economic crisis, is absolutely critical to national security, our economic future, and the security of our society at large. We should be incentivizing our best and brightest to go into this work.

Together, the books deliver a complete toolkit of practices and strategies for providing essential K–12 support at all three tiers of the RTI at Work™ process. • Study the critical elements of the RTI at Work process. • Understand the power of RTI to enhance core instruction and provide timely, targeted, and systematic interventions for students in need. • Gain effective strategies to differentiate learning, and understand the variety of ways students learn. • Identify the roles of teacher, leadership, and intervention teams, and understand why they are essential to the intervention system. • Gain tips and best practices for determining student learning levels and how to move student learning forward with a multitiered system of supports (MTSS). • Review structures and schedules that build time in the school day to support students who need interventions.

™ RTI at Work Success Story Windsor Central School District
WINDSOR, NEW YORK
PLC at Work® LIVE Institute host district. Learn more on pages 24–25.
DEMOGRAPHICS › 1,592 Students › 13% Special education › 1% English language learners › 2% Hispanic › 2% African American › 92% Caucasian › 2% Multiracial › 1% Asian › 1% Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander
IMPLEMENTATION Windsor Central contributes its success with RTI at Work™ to the tools and strategies gained at Solution Tree events, as well as collaborating with Solution Tree associates on staff conference days. Windsor Central’s administrators and teachers also utilized key book resources, such as Taking Action and Simplifying Response to Intervention, to broaden their knowledge of RTI and inform decision making in the best interests of their students. The district began fostering multigrade-level collaboration between mathematics and ELA content experts, allowing students to have the same core content instructors for two consecutive years. In addition, a team of Windsor educators was developed to serve as full-time Tier 3 interventionists to fill foundational gaps of elementary students performing in the bottom 3−5 percent of their peer group.
RESULTS
Windsor Central School District is located in Windsor, New York, a community of approximately 6,250 residents.
With more than 15 years invested into PLC and RTI work, Windsor Central now boasts much to be proud of. The district now consistently ranks first or second in the region academically, despite having much starker poverty rates than its peers. “To get to number one, that’s a story in and of itself,” superintendent Dr. Jason Andrews said. “The thought, 15 years ago, was that it would be laughable that Windsor would be first in the region.” But the district’s progress is no joke: after initially offering three advanced courses, Windsor Central High School now offers 34 such classes. In addition, Windsor Central’s graduation rate is now a promising 95 percent.

Assessment Success Story
Rutland High School RUTLAND, VERMONT
DEMOGRAPHICS › 860 Students › 39% Free and reduced lunch › 2% Limited English proficient › 12% Special education › 1% African American › 2% Hispanic › 1% Asian/Pacific Islander › 2% Other Rutland, Vermont, is an urban location serving about 23,000 residents in a very rural state. Although Rutland is a racially homogeneous community, it is home to a very diverse socioeconomic demographic.
CHALLENGE Rutland High School served its students well, but the staff desired to go from good to great. Many teachers practiced as independent contractors, with no real opportunities or impetus to collaborate. Students received a curriculum that varied from class to class. The data that resulted from assessments were not used systematically to improve instruction. There was no system in place to best support students who were not making it, no system that further challenged students to go beyond standard expectations. Although teachers had the best intentions, many of Rutland students’ early standardized test scores were lower than the state average. Some of the staff had heard of the success other schools and districts had experienced when staff worked in a collaborative culture to ensure every student in every class learns at high levels. However, there was no buildingwide commitment to learn, implement, and practice these principles.
IMPLEMENTATION The staff of Rutland made a commitment to become a professional learning community. The first decision made by school leadership was to send staff to Solution Tree summits and institutes. Within a year, the school had reached a critical mass, both in terms of staff numbers attending the events and understanding the concepts. On-site workshops and coaching brought a focused, customized approach to understanding and implementing daily practices that would build and sustain a solid foundation for continuous school improvement. One of these areas of focus was assessment. The staff made great strides with the support of national assessment expert Cassandra Erkens.
64 11SMCA.indb 64
Teachers soon gained a collective understanding of and commitment to formative and summative assessment systems. Thus, teams established a clear and common guaranteed and viable curriculum. With the help of the Data Team System, they established a process that ensured a thorough approach to reviewing student results with a commitment to intervention. Finally, the daily schedule changed to allow for an intervention block during the school day.

After attending Solution Tree assessment training, our staff was convinced that working together, sharing leadership, and committing to a common assessment approach would benefit not only our students but also our colleagues.” —Principal Bill Olsen
RESULTS “Our staff’s dedication to the assessment processes we learned from Cassandra has resulted in increased student achievement,” says Rutland principal Bill Olsen.
Many of Rutland students’ early standardized test scores were lower than the state average prior to the school’s journey with Solution Tree. As staff worked to improve their collaborative common formative assessment process, their scores improved. This progress was evident throughout the remainder of their time using the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP). Currently, the state of Vermont uses the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium. The goal of Rutland continues to be to perform at or better than state average. So far, their scores show they are on track.
“We have seen strong results in reading scores. For the past five years, they have been consistently at or above state averages. Math scores have risen to be more closely aligned with state mean scaled score averages.”

Nicole Dimich, author
What inspired you to write Design in Five?
What will educators find most valuable in this resource?
After five years of working alongside collaborative teams of teachers, I learned much about deep implementation of engaging assessment practices. The conversations led to the five phases and the accompanying protocols. Teachers found the phases to connect the dots among different components of their work (e.g., essential standards, rigor, feedback, data analysis, and self-assessment). The process empowered teachers to believe in assessment practices that focus on learning instead of compliance or evaluation. The process empowered students to increase achievement, confidence, and investment. The stories of this impact inspired me to write Design in Five.
Educators describe the five-phase design protocol as a simple but deep process that shifts assessment from evaluation to information. This process empowers students to invest in their learning by designing assessments focused on learning, feedback, and self-assessment. Engagement is not often associated with assessment, but this process articulates assessment as meaningful information and connects it to who students are, what they are interested in, and how they are contributors to local and global issues. As a framework versus a prescriptive protocol, it gives educators a practical way to transform their assessment practices to get results.
Why is it important to create engaging assessment practices?
FEATURED RESOURCE
Assessment is powerful when framed to help students and their teachers understand strengths and identify next steps in achieving essential grade-level standards. Too often, assessment can be used to cause stress and anxiety. Unintentionally, it can make students feel far behind and shut learning down. Engaging assessment practices involve rebranding assessment as information and designing assessment as meaningful work, not just a test, but intentional methods that engage students as problem-solvers and collaborators.

Attend with a vision, Leave with a plan The best of what we offer in a 2-day workshop is now delivered virtually. Solution Tree experts will work with you and your team as you focus on crucial issues and develop a plan of action that fits your school’s needs.
LIVE 2-DAY EVENTS! Grading From the Inside Out Presenter: Tom Schimmer
March 16 & 23
This Virtual Workshop is focused on the practices and processes that will modernize grading and reporting systems to be more aligned to our standardsbased instructional paradigm. By developing a standards-based mindset, participants of this Zoom-exclusive event will come to see how a seamless relationship between the formative and summative purposes of assessment will maximize the potential success of each and every learner. Rather than forcing grading reform through a new policy, grading program, or report card template, long-term grading reform begins on the inside—how we rethink grading practices and processes—and works its way out.

Mathematics at Work™ Success Story
Newhall School District VALENCIA, CALIFORNIA
DEMOGRAPHICS
› 6,537 Students › 12.02% Special education › 23.5% English learners › 48.4% Hispanic › 2.3% African American › 30.5% Caucasian › 5.8% Multiracial › 9.5% Asian › 0.1% Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander › 0.4% Native American
Newhall School District is a group of ten elementary schools located in Valencia, California, a neighborhood of approximately 61,000 residents in Santa Clarita, California.
CHALLENGE When superintendent Jeff Pelzel first arrived at the Newhall School District, Common Core State Standards for literacy and math instruction were also being rolled out across California. Pelzel, then an assistant superintendent and content director for Newhall, knew that finding the right instruction strategy for its ten elementary schools—five of which were classified as Title I—would be critical to student success. Approximately 30 percent of Newhall’s students at that time were English learners, and around 45 percent of students came from an economically disadvantaged background. “Every other district around here adopted its math curriculum early, but I knew what was available was not good for us, so we delayed and delayed,” Pelzel said. After attending an Association of California School Administrators workshop, as well as watching Timothy D. Kanold’s breakout session at a PLC at Work® institute, Pelzel said he knew he had found the answer.
IMPLEMENTATION Sarah Schuhl, a certified Mathematics at Work™ associate, began working with Newhall to implement the ten HighLeverage Team Actions detailed in the Beyond the Common Core series. Four teachers from each school were involved in the rollout process, ensuring consistent implementation across the entire district.
Discover more schools that have partnered with us to achieve great results at SolutionTree.com/SuccessStories.
In year two, Schuhl met with every K–5 teacher, focusing an entire day on each grade level, three times during the school year to unwrap standards for upcoming mathematics curriculum units. The ten High Level Team Actions were reviewed before, during, and after each unit as well. In year three, sixth-grade teachers met with Schuhl three times during the year to unwrap standards and create common assessments, and response to intervention (RTI) practices were created across the entire district with a focus on Tier 2 mathematics interventions. Schuhl also met with new teachers three times during the year to share mathematics instructional and assessment practices.

48.1 percent of Newhall’s students who are economically disadvantaged are now meeting or exceeding state math standards, compared to the Los Angeles County rate of 28.6 percent.”
IMPLEMENTATION CONTINUED In year four, Schuhl met with special education teachers for mathematics training three times. Leadership teams also met with Schuhl to refine the RTI pyramid and implement strong core instruction using the ten team actions and the four critical questions of PLC at Work.
“If you’re going to invest in this work, it has to be about a long-term investment. Not one year, not two years, but a minimum of three-plus years of work,” Pelzel said. “If you can do that, you’re going to be in a much better situation.”
RESULTS After several years of involvement with the Mathematics at Work™ process, Newhall’s learners are showing incredible results with Common Core standards. According to the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress, Newhall’s students collectively improved their proficiency in mathematics from 54 percent to 71.85 percent over three years. English proficiency also improved from 67 percent to 71.13 percent in that span. “Despite our higher English Learner numbers and higher poverty numbers, we are beating the odds and outperforming others around us with significantly lower numbers.” Pelzel said. “We know what the data typically tells us about poverty, and we are showing those odds can be beaten.”
28.6 percent. Newhall’s English learner students are also outperforming the county 30.7 percent to 12 percent. The progress at Newhall isn’t limited to test scores either. Pelzel said that some instructors now have more than 20 days of professional development backing up their hard work and that his district is united through the PLC at Work process, ensuring high levels of learning for all. “Our teachers have bought into the philosophy around facilitating learning around kids, as well as using data to drive instruction and coaching to improve their practices,” Pelzel said. “To me, that’s what it’s all about.”
As for Newhall’s economically disadvantaged students, 48.1 percent are now meeting or exceeding state math standards, compared to the Los Angeles County rate of

Explore content-based strategies to transform teaching and advance learning. Participants will investigate shifts in planning, instructing, and assessing to focus on deeper content-based instruction. Create a shared image of successful classrooms, and generate a plan for targeted professional improvement in mathematics teaching.
TQE Learning Lab and Lesson Study
Practice and refine mathematical tasks with a DNA Mathematics expert who will facilitate team discussions and provide feedback. Our associates will coach administrators and instructional coaches on look-fors as they observe teachers in action. During the TQE Learning Lab, participants dive deep into tasks as grade or course-alike pairs. Pairs will first develop a shared task for small groups, and then teach the task, observe each other, revise, deliver again, and reflect. With the Lesson Study, available upon request, we will coach one participant through planning a lesson and facilitate team reflection. A second teacher will then deliver a revised lesson based on the reflection.
School Walkthroughs
By observing instruction in select classrooms in your school, a DNA Mathematics associate will determine areas of strength and areas of growth for each lesson observed based on the TQE process.

DNA Mathematics Success Story
Saint Paul Public Schools SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA
DEMOGRAPHICS › 37,010 Students › 16% Special education › 29% English language learners
› 14% Hispanic › 26% African American › 21% Caucasian › 7% Multiracial › 31% Asian › <1% Native Hawaiian/ Pacific Islander
› 1% Native American Saint Paul Public Schools is Newhall School District is located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, a group of ten elementary a city of approximately schools located in Valencia, 308,000 residents.
CHALLENGE When Ishmael Robinson started his role as Saint Paul Public Schools’ K−12 math supervisor, he was tasked with arranging professional development for mathematics teachers in his district. Of Saint Paul’s roughly 37,000 students, close to 30 percent were English learners, and another 16 percent required special education. Saint Paul Public Schools would need a comprehensive PD solution that empowered its staff to address the mathematics needs of diverse learners. “The mathematics culture was very procedural and disjointed,” Robinson said. “We went in a lot of different directions, and we had visions of doing the things we wanted to do, but as a system, we weren’t sure how we could get there.” Robinson chose DNA Mathematics, which focuses on enhancing the knowledge, skills, and effectiveness of mathematics teachers so students can receive the best education possible. “I felt it was important for our teachers to understand and know the instructional moves that went with the practice,” Robinson said. “You can tell them about the practice all you want, but if they don’t know when to do what, they’re less likely to try the practice.”
IMPLEMENTATION Saint Paul Public Schools worked closely with Solution Tree expert Juli K. Dixon, a co-founder of DNA Mathematics. The staff collaborated with Juli to build a solid foundation of content knowledge for teaching mathematics, then extend that knowledge to students through the implementation of the TQE Process. This structured solution—which combines tasks, questions, and evidence to drive efficacy in student learning—empowered Saint Paul’s mathematics educators to identify learning goals, facilitate productive questions, and employ evidence-based formative assessment to deliver optimum instruction.

“The doubters that we have that are new will just stop everything in their tracks. You have to try it. Go slow, but once you get people who have experienced DNA Mathematics, and the progression of how things are done, it is fantastic, and you will get believers out of the teachers and out of the students who believe they can now learn mathematics,”said Thanh Tran, Saint Paul Public Schools elementary district math specialist. The DNA Mathematics model and TQE Process fostered dynamic conversations about learning among all students—strengthening both literacy and mathematics skills at the same time.

TQE was a radical difference that convinced me this is the right way to We look at the data, and we see huge increases in growth. The fun be teaching our children, especially theteachers ones who are most marginalized part is, by year two, we had so many calling, emailing, and intexting our learning communities.” with pride in their change in data.”
—Stacy Waskosky, mathematics teacher, Saint Paul Public Schools —Patricia Busta, elementary math coach, Saint Paul Public Schools
IMPLEMENTATION (CONT.) “It was wonderful to see that much dialogue; children speaking, explaining, talking—and pulling out more and more math language,” said Peggy Nayar, a pre-algebra teacher at Farnsworth Aerospace PreK−8. “Teachers were seeing how much students are capable of talking. I’m a big believer that they need to be talking about mathematics.”
RESULTS In the three years since beginning its DNA Mathematics journey, Saint Paul Public Schools has succeeded in creating a mathematics culture that advances the learning of every student. What once was a procedural and disjointed mathematics department has since transformed into a responsive, engaging team that anticipates every student being able to learn at high levels. “We look at the data, and we see huge increases in growth,” said Patricia Busta, an elementary mathematics coach for the district. “The fun part is, by year two, we had so many teachers calling, emailing, and texting with pride in their change in data.” It was a leap of faith, but one that Saint Paul’s mathematics teachers decisively say has changed their classrooms for the better. “You’re welcome in this environment,” Nayar said. “The text and the information and the presentations and the approaches will blend nicely with techniques and strategies you already use. When you marry all that together, I believe it’s an asset for all the learners in the room.”

EXPERT
& QA What inspired you to write Teaching with Purpose? It’s a culmination of many years of experience. I’ve spent twenty-five years working with teachers day in, day out in classrooms and teaching at the university level. On any given day, I could be in five different classrooms from elementary school to high school. And so that’s kept me grounded in terms of what can actually be implemented in classrooms. Then at the university level, there’s a larger focus on research-based concepts. I think the two perspectives have enabled me to effectively look at the most fundamental research-based concepts and ideas that make sense in classrooms. They’re basic, practical, and improve the chance of learners being successful. When teachers employ these strategies, you really start to see a difference for students.
Can you share some of the concepts or strategies that you suggest in the book? Absolutely! One chapter focuses on student behavior and engagement. The idea is that, rather than looking at students’ misbehavior, it’s important to look at students’ desire to communicate. Very often, we unknowingly reinforce the behaviors that we don’t want to reinforce. We need to help students indicate what it is that they need, so that in the end they’ll get what they need without having to disrupt the class and, ultimately, feel bad about themselves. Another chapter covers the importance of identifying what it is that you want students to be able to do by the end of each unit or lesson. When you walk into a classroom, you should always think about what you want students to be able to do by the end of the hour or the half or the twenty minutes. If we fail to articulate this and we don’t know what we’re leading our students toward, then how will we teach them effectively? And how will we ever know if they actually achieved it?
Karen Gazith, author walks into the classroom and says, “Today, we’re going to learn about whales. What do you know about whales?” The thing is, the students don’t really know much about whales, so they raise their hands and share inaccurate information. Now the entire class has learned three or four facts about whales that are incorrect. That misinformation is now in the students’ heads, and false information can be very hard to get rid of. So how do we teach new information? There are many different ways of doing it, which I share in the book.
Will this book support both new and experienced educators? I really do believe that this book is for novice teachers and for experts. I’ve been in so many classrooms, and I very, very rarely see teachers putting these research-based principles into place. And when I talk to someone who has been teaching for twenty-five years, they’ll often say, “Why did I never think about that before?”
What is one key piece of wisdom you’d like readers to take away from this book? If teachers teach well, students will learn. I believe this with all of my heart. If we slow down, if we’re purposeful, if we tell students what we want them to learn, then they will succeed.

EXPERT
& QA
Why did you write The Student-Centered Classroom? Research shows that a student-centered approach is a game-changer for students who are struggling to meet academic goals. In my experience, such an approach is important for all students—all students learn better in an environment where they are known, respected, and supported. There are schools and even whole districts that have questioned traditional methods, found alternatives that help students learn, and embraced change. But they are still relatively few. And while schools and districts ready for change might be few, teachers ready for change are many. I wrote this book in order to share what I have learned with teachers who are looking for effective ways to engage students in learning and to make their classes a meaningful part of students’ lives. I envision a future in which taking a student-centered approach helps public schools realize their full potential to contribute to the development of strong individuals and a strong democracy.
What is the one thing you hope teachers take away from this book? The main message of this book is that change is necessary and possible at the classroom level. Teachers don’t need to wait for the whole system to change before making their own classes student-centered. Taking a student-centered approach helps students love learning and engage deeply in learning that truly matters to them. Individual teachers who take such an approach can make an enduring difference for their students and, ultimately, for the educational system as a whole.
What challenges will the resource help educators address? Traditional school culture is long-standing and tenacious. It’s not easy to take an alternative approach when everyone else in the building is going along with the usual methods. As I was learning, by trial and error, to take a student-centered approach in my own classroom, I would have loved to come across a little book with a personal account of what it’s like to act on alternatives, an account that was candid about obstacles and encouraging about outcomes. I never found that book, so I have written one that I hope will help teachers who are ready to change get through the hard parts.
Jeanetta Jones Miller, author Even in the best of times, a one-size-fits-all curriculum does not meet the needs of all students. Real learning happens when students are engaged in the material and have some sense of control over how to work with it. In a student-centered classroom, this sense of control is an integral part of teachers and students working together in partnership, as well as students working in collaboration with their peers. In difficult times, such as the time we are facing now, the need for a student-centered approach grows more intense.
How will this book support teachers in the current educational landscape? The Student-Centered Classroom was written before “pandemic,” “quarantine,” and “Zoom” became household words, but I believe this book will have an important role to play when students return to school with some experience in taking responsibility for their own learning. Students will have had the opportunity to notice that it takes less time to learn at home—the original student-centered classroom—where they can work at their own pace and have the support of people who know and love them. And students whose home has been insecure will need an individualized approach more than ever. The transition from home back to school has the potential to be a pivotal moment in education, a time when taking a student-centered approach can build on and affirm what is best in students’ recent experiences. Each classroom can be a place where our young people work in partnership with their teacher to find the best path forward for each individual.

EXPERT
& QA
Timothy D. Kanold, author
Why did you write SOUL!? Since childhood, I have loved the iconic phrase “heart and soul.” This idea of giving life all you’ve got. In my previous book, HEART!, I took educators on a journey of self-awareness toward understanding how an individual’s heartprint creates interfusion with others and how one’s professional life impacts students and colleagues. Yet, I also recognize that our profession of preK–16 educators is a profession of emotional labor. We experience joy and laughter, stress and strain, grief and anger, all often within the same day. In SOUL!, I take educators on a different and deeper journey toward understanding how using our soul story can help us to live a more meaningful professional life, as we create interfusion with the good.
What is a soul story, and why is it important? Your soul story is the moral imperative pursuit of becoming good in order to create good in others. It’s the idea that it’s not enough just to have an impact—it has to be an impact for the good. But we can’t do that if we’re not taking care of ourselves. A great feature in the book is the many opportunities for journaling and reflection. As you fill out the prompts throughout the book, you are discovering and writing your own soul story. We are in an emotional profession, and we have to determine how each of us can use our soul story to help us respond appropriately in times of difficulty and uncertainty. The reality is that there are going to be obstacles that get in the way. So, how do we overcome those? We use our soul story to overcome them, to live a more balanced and healthy life, and to fulfill our profession promise.
What specific issues will SOUL! help educators solve?
Each letter of the word SOUL represents a seven-chapter portion of the book. “S” stands for “Searching” and challenges educators to work every day toward fulfilling their soul story. “O“ is for “Overcoming,” which empowers readers to use their soul story pursuit to practice self-care and self-compassion during times of adversity that enter into daily teaching and leading. “U” stands for “Unifying” and details how to unify with others around a collective soul story—which helps create a school culture of belonging, vulnerability, validation, and more. Finally, “L” is for “Living,” which outlines how to live your soul story today by creating significant moments and memories that become your legacy for tomorrow.
What do you like best about SOUL!? We are in a moment of time where our profession, if we are not careful, will leave us emotionally, physically, and spiritually bankrupt. To counter this pressure, we need to practice healthy routines of wellness and self-care. We also need to rise up to the desperate needs of taking care of our students amidst the challenges of teaching the next generation. I believe SOUL! will give readers the courage and the permission to do both.

INTRODUCING
A Solution Tree Company
Your GPS for Professional Growth Needs Assessment ProPath Learning creates the conditions for school leaders to champion the development of their staff’s professional knowledge and skills at a pace that fits within the scope and relevance of daily work.

Using a series of diagnostic tools, we will help you identify key efficiencies and deficiencies in five critical areas: leadership, school culture, curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The results of your assessment will lead to PD Pathways, which outline actionable growth plans for individual staff members and help drive sustainable improvements across your school community.
Choose the Needs Assessment to: •
Gain deep insight into your school by collecting data from focus groups, school artifacts, and a staff perception survey
•
Review a detailed report that highlights strengths and areas for school improvement

Empowering Women for School Leadership The impact of high-quality school leadership is second only to teaching. While a majority of educators are women, they remain underrepresented in school leadership. Support women leaders on their journey to discover their personal leadership identity and engage in opportunities to learn, grow, and lead within their school communities.

EXPERT
& QA Why should administrators and teachers of secondary classrooms read I’m Listening? I’m Listening offers strategies for teachers to develop strong relationships with students and create a classroom community in which students feel safe and valued. It provides specific standards-based ideas and instructional activities grounded in the philosophy of social-emotional learning (SEL) that teachers across the disciplines can use to promote literacy development.
Beth Pandolpho, author
What inspires your work both as a teacher and an author? I am continually inspired by other people’s stories. I think that learning about others expands and transforms us, and it enables us to envision possibilities beyond our own experience. I am interested to learn how we can harness the power of social connectedness to impact learning and overall happiness in the lives of students as well as each other. To me, the path to real improvement in education is listening— to the research, our colleagues, our students, and ourselves.
What makes this book unique? I’m Listening is both practical and uplifting. Stories and anecdotes from life, literature, and classrooms illuminate how the development of literacy skills is fostered when relationships and belonging are integrated into classroom culture and lesson design. Teachers and students lend their voices to this book, not only to inspire, but also to remind us of the powerful connection between relationships and learning.
What are some strategies from the book that teachers can use in their classrooms tomorrow? The resource provides many cross-disciplinary strategies designed for immediate use across grade levels. For example, the book includes targeted questions educators can ask to help students deepen their comprehension, discover how stories reveal truth, and transfer these understandings to their own lives. In addition, there are prompts offered to help students identify archetypal patterns as well as methods for sparking reflection and discussion.

EXPERT
& QA What inspired you to write this book? When I first became a teacher, I used the teaching as telling, learning as listening approach to instruction, as did my colleagues. And when I taught this way, everybody said I was on the right track. A few years into my career, I had a pivotal moment with a student named Lisa. She always got 90 percent or more on all the tests I gave. I remember asking Lisa a question one morning, a question that she had answered correctly on a test two weeks previously. And she could not give me the answer. And that just started a cascade of thoughts in my head. Why can she not remember this? If she can’t remember this, what about the other students in the class? What are they learning? The real dagger to my heart was that I began to realize that my students, as much as I was trying to be entertaining, were not engaging with my teaching. This began a journey for me. I began to research educational theorists, and I discovered the whole idea of passive receiving and learning vs. higher-level thinking and learning. But I didn’t really know how to foster this in my classroom. So I began to try many things, and problems-first learning was the answer I was looking for— and is the whole premise of this book.
Why did problems-first learning stand out for you? I began to see that giving students problems first was the vehicle for me to get students to be independent learners. Problems lead to questions. Questions lead to discovery. Discovery leads to interest. Interest leads to ownership. And finally, ownership leads to independence. I have learned that using a role-play is a fantastic way to do this. For example, if I’m teaching a class on website design, I will come to the class and say, “Good morning. My name is Mr. Williams. I own a plumbing store. And what I need is a website that does x, y, and z.” And because I’m showing up to class in my role as Mr. Williams—not as their teacher Mr. McCain—they can’t access me for support. All I know is the plumbing business. The students quickly realize that they’re on their own when they’re interviewing Mr. Williams and that they have to independently get the information that they need. It’s truly a great method for getting students to engage in independent learning.
Ted McCain, author
How will these skills help them in life outside of school? These real-life situations are exactly what they will need to do in the world outside of school. The number one thing that comes up over and over again is that students wait to be told what to do. I want students to have the skills to be able to step seamlessly out of my classroom, into the real world, and be able to apply higher-level thinking skills. The book offers a series of problem scenarios that cultivate seven pillars of success for students: internal attitude skills, information investigation skills, imagination creativity skills, innovation creativity skills, interpersonal skills, interdependent collaboration skills, and independent problem-solving skills.
Any words of wisdom for teachers ready to give problems-based learning a try? It’s okay to start small. This can be an incremental change. You could even do it just once per year. And how do you get better? Well, one of the things I always tell my students is to just get moving, because you can’t steer a parked car. And a lot of teachers are parked. They’re parked in a paradigm of teaching as telling, learning as listening. The big thing is to get comfortable with a different paradigm for teaching. Just get going and embrace the change.

Here’s a scenario to get us started: A colleague, Tom, is shoulder-deep advocating for technology as the best way to personalize learning for every kid. To start, he favors that every student be on a computer. For him, tech makes life easier for teachers. I feel compelled to challenge Tom’s belief that every kid must have a digital program for every subject, all day, every day, if his teachers are going to personalize learning. (For starters, his declaration eliminates personalized learning for students who have neither a computer nor the internet, and most of those whose classrooms may have limited devices.) Tom’s perfect student enters the room—or if remote, is at her desk, sitting at a computer station and logged in for instruction, by and from the computer’s intelligent programs. He will remind me over and over that tech companies and publishers have programs ready to sell with the wherewithal to personalize everything a student must know, from his grade’s scope and scale curriculum, to any test prep a student might require. “The device,” he assures me, “assesses and tells what the student knows and needs to know. If the student struggles on the first screen, the digital program adjusts the kid’s very own path. And when the day is done, there is the added bonus for the teacher that the machine keeps every student’s daily track record. The teacher has not a single quiz to score nor a gradebook entry to make.” His words make some sense, especially about eliminating the grading grind. I wonder out loud, however, how it promotes voice and choice or even personalizes the learning. I have targeted five keys I believe enable personalized deeper learning by every student. In this image, student choices are much more personally meaningful than what students assisted by a computer are allowed. Even if students lack ready access to computers, these five actions will initiate personalized learning experiences. Discover the five keys in James Bellanca’s full blog SolutionTree.com/5Keys

John F. Eller, author
Why this book? Childhood trauma is being called one of the mental health problems of the 21st century by many authors and researchers. Our work with educators over the last twenty years has covered many of the elements that can help them make their schools and districts more conducive to student success. As we talked about our past engagements, we decided to place everything under one umbrella, the umbrella of trauma-informed teaching. This book is a one-stop place to get ideas and strategies to transform you, and your teaching, to become more trauma informed.
What is the first thing you would tell educators who seek to make their instruction more trauma informed? There are two thoughts we'd share with educators. First, increase your awareness about trauma and its impacts. It may be that some of the behaviors your students are exhibiting aren't directed at you but have some of their roots in the situations these students face outside of school. Second, focus on building relationships with your students. This foundation will help you better understand them and enable them to trust you. When they trust you, they'll know you have their best interests at heart.
What roadblocks do school teachers and leaders face in becoming more trauma informed? There are a variety of roadblocks that can get in the way of becoming trauma informed. Our own experiences with childhood trauma can make us more receptive and understanding, or can "harden" us to seeing beyond the behaviors and seeking to understand our studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; situations. Pressure to improve achievement can make us focus only on academic achievement and not look at the whole child. The pressure to look good in front of our colleagues and peers can make us
Tom Hierck, author
continue the practices that have not worked for children. Teacher education programs generally do not cover this needed area, resulting in a learn-on-the-fly approach. The resulting lack of understanding of trauma and its impacts on the brain keeps educators from seeing the big picture. Practical strategies and ideas to overcome these and other roadblocks make up the bulk of the content in our new book.
How will this book help? We designed this book to be very clear and straightforward in its approach to the topic of traumainformed teaching so busy classroom teachers can learn and implement effective practices in their classrooms. We also tried to share strategies that can align with or fit into the practices many teachers are already doing to make the adoption of these ideas easier. The book also contains many real stories of teachers implementing trauma-informed practices. Classroom teachers can see and follow many of the examples in these stories to implement strategies in their classrooms.

EXPERT
& QA
Richard K. Cohen, author
Why is metacognition so important in classrooms today? Metacognition is an untapped skill set in education. And this book introduces one very simple metacognitive strategy— what we call structured SELf-questioning—that has limitless potential to increase our students’ ability to think clearly through problems and decisions. We have seen firsthand that when SELf-questioning is implemented, student outcomes improve. In addition, kids are able to make more thoughtful decisions about their feelings and the personal challenges and conflicts they’re facing. It’s really about teaching students a lifelong skill that they can apply in different educational areas and different facets of their lives.
Could you tell us more about the why, what, and how of the structured SELf-questioning strategy? Teachers are really all over the map on how they teach thinking skills and problem-solving skills. But there's research and evidence on how to do it well, which is where structured SELf-questioning comes in. Teachers can sometimes get intimidated or overwhelmed—quite understandably so— when they hear terms like "metacognitive." This book makes it really simple. It offers one very specific way to teach kids to not just learn academic content, but also to learn how to be more intelligent decision makers, more responsible, and more thoughtful in any context. The "structured" part of the term "structured SELf-questioning" refers to the idea that an educator always uses a clear structure—the same six steps. This structure helps kids think step-by-step, guides their self-talk, and supports them through a problem or decision. When a student works through the steps, it leads to empowerment and autonomy.

learning, given that they have so much academic content to cover. But the structured SELf-questioning strategy makes it so they don't need additional time. This one strategy really is transferable for any problem and so easy to teach in any situation.
How does this book help teachers develop their students’ skills for coping and resilience? With the ongoing pandemic, remote learning, and civil and racial unrest and uncertainty, it’s so critical that students develop these skills. Teachers can use the structured SELf-questioning prompt to really walk students through every phase: How are you feeling? Can you identify your emotions? Can you manage those emotions? The reality is that right now many schools don't have enough therapists and counselors to support all our kids who struggle. The question prompts help teach students to calm themselves, self-evaluate, handle the problem, and reflect on if what they’re doing is working. It really gives them the tools they need to address academic stress as well as world stress.
What is one key takeaway educators will get from this book? The how. There are many books on the research of this work. But they leave many teachers with the same thought: “I get why it's important, but how do I do it?” The structured SELfquestioning strategy is research-based and doable. When educators finish this book, they will have a really great grip on how to move forward.
FEATURED RESOURCE
Does this book work for every grade level? Yes! The book gives many specific examples for how teachers can teach students to work through challenges in each content area. So whether you’re teaching third-graders or high school students, you’ll have examples in the book of how to use this strategy. Also, we understand that a lot of teachers think they don’t have time for social-emotional

EXPERT
& QA
What originally inspired you to create a wraparound center? We’ve spent our careers working in high-poverty, high-minority schools, and dealing with the lack of equity that can exist in these communities, particularly when it comes to access to services. We decided to begin interviewing students, to see what barriers were impacting them. The topics that came up were really nothing that we had covered in our school improvement plans and nothing that federal funding would allow us to target. The kids’ responses were things like, “Well, I've been homeless, and we've bounced around a lot. I've been in a lot of different schools” or “Mom's working two jobs, and she stays really stressed out all the time.” The responses really highlighted the social, emotional, and environmental issues that were crowding their brains and impacting their focus. We decided to start looking at what services we had in our community that could help us address these needs. That's the main goal of wraparound centers: connecting students and families to all the different, good services that are in their communities that they may not otherwise have access to. And this concept is not only applicable to underserved schools. If you look at things like anxiety and substance use, those are really an issue across all socioeconomic areas.
What are the essential steps for developing an effective wraparound center? It all starts with identifying needs—that’s the secret sauce. It’s crucial to have ongoing conversations with students and to make sure their voices are heard. Ask them: What are your academic needs? Behavioral needs? Family needs? You take this information and then go into the next step, which is prioritizing. This is where you look at the qualitative information, and then put some numbers around it based on what students are telling you. This gives you an idea of what the caseloads might be for specific areas. From there, start looking at what resources are in the community that can help. This is when you identify your true priorities. If you choose three priorities—let’s say mentoring, mental health, and physical health, for example—then you will start to fill in those partnerships and actually formalize them. Next, you’ll begin to write grants. There's a whole funding chapter in the book. We can’t emphasize enough that you have to understand the funding or you can't make the center work. After that, you’ll officially secure the funding and set up the infrastructure. At this point, you’ll have to answer
Leigh Colburn, author
Linda Beggs, author
some key questions: What will your partners need? Where are these services going to be located in order to protect confidentiality? What are the hours going to be? The final step is connecting students and families with the services. The book breaks this entire process down into clear, accessible steps.
How will school staff know if the services are working? As far as reporting data, we actually discourage schools from making their measurable outcomes only about achievement. It’s really important to measure the services being used. How many housing services were delivered? How many families are accessing the food bank? How many kids are receiving mental health services? How many kids have received a one-on-one mentor? How many kids received college application assistance? What you will find is that discipline goes down, attendance goes up, and achievement goes up. But these are big-picture byproducts—what you really want to measure is the busyness of the center on a daily basis.
What would you say to administrators unsure if this will work in their schools? There are four things we hear most often from administrators: we lack time, we lack space, we can't afford it, and it's not our job. This book gives educators a straightforward way to resolve all of these concerns. And the reality is that schools are already dealing with these issues—substance use, homelessness, mental health, etc.—they’re just not dealing with them effectively. When schools fully return to in-person classes after the pandemic, they are going to see escalated levels of mental health issues, anxiety, abuse, and neglect. These centers are going to be vital.

E X C E R P T F R O M B E Y O N D C O N V E R S AT I O N S A B O U T R A C E By Douglas Reeves | Contributors: Washington Collado, Sharroky Hollie, Rosa Isiah, Yvette Jackson, Anthony Muhammad, and Kenneth C. Williams
Anything I Say Comes Out Wrong Discussions of race have been so charged that they are part of our legacy. Generation X (people born roughly from the early 1960s to the late 1970s) represents the first generation of Americans born after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. While these rights are more secure now than in the days of post-Civil War Reconstruction in the 1800s and pervasive Jim Crow laws of the 1900s, it would be extremely naive to think that suppression of Black votes has been eliminated. Well into the 21st century, manipulation, suppression, and gerrymandering are not only alive and well, but often legally sanctioned (Cobb, 2019). Nevertheless, complacency pervades discussions of race and racism, with comments such as the following: • “We had a Black President who won two elections. How can you say that society is still racist?”
• “There are Black congressmen, senators, and mayors. How can you say that Black voters are suppressed?” • “Look, the plain truth is that a lot of the inequities in the Black community are not due to race but to behavior, including more out-of-wedlock births, crime, and lower educational levels. Those are decisions made by adults, not something caused by White people.” • “I know Black people who have doctoral degrees, went to Harvard Law School, and lead companies. That just proves if you work hard enough, you can make it.”
[Author] Kenneth C. Williams, who describes himself as an extremely open-minded and pragmatic gentleman, suggests that in conversations like this, the answer is not to get angry, but in his words, to “get naked.” That is, we must be vulnerable enough to talk not only about the present but also about the past, so that we can better understand the present. Williams suggests that conversations begin with some ground rules intended to create a space safe enough to take risks with what we say and that makes clear we are going to give one another the benefit of the doubt, or more succinctly, give grace. See page 183 for more details on the book.

& QA
Alexander McNeece, author
Why did you write Loving What They Learn?
How will teachers know if their students are engaged?
Loving What They Learn is really about helping teachers. First, I want to help them understand what student engagement is. So many times we see behaviors, and we think that's engagement, but engagement is really a psychological process. Then I wanted to give teachers the tools to help engage their students in the classroom.
Within the book, I've included two 30-question inventories. One is for K–3 classrooms, and then the other is for grades 4–12. The questions help identify a student’s feelings of competence, autonomy, relatedness to the teacher, and relatedness to content. Through this inventory, teachers can get a visual breakdown of their students' level of engagement. They can understand who's engaged and what each child needs. And at the school level, we can collect this data from every class. And then we can determine the appropriate tools to use so everyone in a school can grow together.
When students are engaged, they will learn at the highest and deepest levels. When a child is not engaged, we get the exact opposite outcome. It is within our power and our classroom cultures to create this cognitive connection. And yes, kids absolutely come to us with challenges, struggles, and baggage. But the book has research-based tools for determining what each student needs and engaging them in the learning. The book is full of strategies that teachers can start implementing within their classrooms the day after they read it.
What is one of your favorite tools or strategies from the book? One big concept that flows throughout the book is the idea of collaborative learning. Collaborative learning helps increase the amount of connection a class feels toward each other and the teacher. It also plays such a huge part in helping students build their level of competence and autonomy. For example, most classrooms are set up where the teacher lectures and then students will go and work independently. And as we know, some students can just pick things up from listening, but other kids need more help working through it. We need to help students cross that bridge, and we’ve found that collaborative activities really help. I give many strategies for how to accomplish this throughout the book. I also discuss the behaviors that a teacher can demonstrate to help foster a higher level of collaborative work within the class and generate interest for a subject.
What is one key takeaway from this book? Teachers are the leaders in their classroom. They create cultures within their classroom, and it's within their capacity to engage every one of their students. As the book title says, we want students to love what they learn. How do we get students to grow an intrinsic love for learning? That's the most important thing. If you get students to do that, then they are going to be a success. They're going to go on beyond their time with you and find their way in the world.
