“An amazing tool for schools—clear, practical, and intentional. Leading Modern Learning: A Blueprint for Vision-Driven Schools will empower schools to move toward excellence through a deliberate process by providing a complete blueprint designed to impact student learning from every element of the school experience. From vision to mission, learning targets, authentic assessment, and instruction—a complete system.”
—Gail Seay, Director of Teaching and Learning, American School of Doha, Qatar
“This second edition of Leading Modern Learning provides a fresh lens for looking at contemporary education. Jay McTighe and Greg Curtis peel away the layers of quality schooling to reveal the most critical steps necessary for our contemporary context. The style and substance of this book both engage and challenge the reader, often simultaneously—it is a call to action for educational leaders. This book offers so much more than theory, and it should be a book club choice for educators worldwide.”
—Elizabeth Rossini, Director of Teaching and Learning, The Nueva School, Hillsborough, California
“Education leaders understand that today’s challenges require fundamental changes to teaching and learning. But what is the best path? Jay McTighe and Greg Curtis have provided a much-needed roadmap in Leading Modern Learning. This book is destined to become the North Star for those seeking transformed classrooms.”
—Ken Kay, CEO, and Valerie Greenhill, CLO, EdLeader21
