The International Handbook of Leadership for Learning brings together chapters by distinguished authors from thirty-one countries in nine different regions of the world. The handbook contains nine sections that provide regional overviews; a consideration of theoretical and contextual aspects; system and policy approaches that promote leadership for learning with a focus on educating school leaders for learning and the role of the leader in supporting learning. It also considers the challenge of educating current leaders for this new perspective, and how leaders themselves can develop leadership for learning in others and in their organisations, especially in diverse contexts and situations. The final chapter considers what we now know about leadership for learning and looks at ways this might be further improved in the future. The book provides the reader with an understanding of the rich contextual nature of learning in schools and the role of school leaders and leadership development in promoting this. It concludes that the preposition ‘for’ between the two readily known and understood terms of ‘leadership’ and ‘learning’ changes everything as it foregrounds learning and complexifies, rather than simplifies, what that word may mean. Whereas common terms such as ‘instructional leadership’ reduce learning to ‘outcomes’, leadership for learning embraces a much wider, developmental view of learning.

Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP) Test Prep : 4th Grade Math : Weekly Practice WorkBook Volume 2

The objective of our Smarter Balanced Test Prep Grade 4 math book is to provide students, educators, and parents with practice materials focused on the core skills needed to help students succeed on the SBAC Grade 4 Math Assessments in 2017-18. A student will fare better on a test when s/he has practiced and mastered the skills measured by the assessment. A student also excels when s/he is familiar with the format and structure of the test. This book helps students do both. Students can use this 4th Grade workbook for the State assessments to review key material and practice with standard-tethered skill-building exercises. They can also take math practice tests that reflect the rigor and format of the Grade 4 Math SBAC. Students will become accustomed to how the content of the test is presented, which will enhance their test-taking skills. By SBAC testing day, students will feel confident and adequately prepared to do their best on this challenging mathematics exam. CCSS Math Grade 4 - Smarter Balanced Test Prep Grade 4 The Smarter Balanced (SBAC) math summative assessments are administered by elementary/middle schools in grades 3 through 8. The grade 4 SBAC math test determines if students have mastered fourth grade Common Core mathematics standards, and makes sure that they are getting ready for fifth grade. What You Get When You Purchase this SBAC Practice Book Grade 4 Skill building exercises organized by standard to help students learn & review concepts in the order they will be presented in class. These worksheets also help identify weaknesses and strengthen the skills needed to excel on the actual exam.
