Description: School Leader's Guide to Learner-Centered Education : From Complexity to Simplicity, Hardcover by McCombs, Barbara L.; Miller, Lynda, ISBN 1412960169, ISBN-13 9781412960168, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US For school leaders, McCombs (Human Motivation, Learning, and Development Center, U. of Denver Research Institute) and Miller, who formerly taught and researched cognition, learning styles, and intelligence at the U. of Texas at Austin, argue that the current one-size-fits-all model of education is flawed and propose a new, learner-centered form. They describe leadership qualities and practices necessary to lead changes to learner-centered education, including issues involved in sustaining this model such as leading schools as moral communities and negotiating political and policy environments. They discuss learner-centered principles and their effectiveness, the ecological view of schools, self-assessment and reflection, distributed leadership, ongoing learning, change, and improvement, identifying leaders and change agents, motivating others, and the School-Level Assessment of Learner-Centered Practices. They conclude with discussion of moving toward new outcomes and developing leadership qualities from within. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
