Put the focus of education back where it belongs-on learning!

Do you feel bogged down by endless administrative tasks? Do you wish you could focus more on what truly matters-learning? Learnership provides both insight and solutions for moving past the distractions and becoming a learning leader. Cathy Toll illustrates this transformational process through activities and focused "learning conversations."

Toll uses supported actions, theory and research, real-life stories, and narrative bibliography to explain how the practice of learnership can be implemented on a daily basis. This book offers:

Practices to help teachers improve their effectiveness using problem-solving techniques
More effective ways to approach data, testing, and accountability
Strategies for supporting Professional Learning Teams (PLT) and educational coaches

Learnership is an invaluable resource for principals and teachers in school-based leadership roles, or anyone who wishes to focus on school improvement and their own personal growth as a leader in education.

Industry Reviews

"Administrators will find this book to be a useful tool in working with their staffs to encourage 'Learnership' throughout their buildings." -- Nancy M. Betler, Talent Development Facilitator and National Academic League Commissioner "In Learnership, Cathy Toll reminds us that we didn't get into the teaching profession to make 'data-driven decisions' and shows how starting with an issue and 'thinking data' can enhance learning. This book came at the perfect time in my career. It's a book I'll keep around to reference & refuel." -- Andrew Goodin, Chemistry Teacher "Cathy Toll makes a contribution in the professional field and calls educators to focus on student learning instead of data and instruction as the tools for student learning." -- Patricia J. Burke, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction
