Figure 1.1The Leadership for Learning Framework

• The focus of this book is the right side of the
  matrix, the Leading and Learning quadrants. In
  the lower right quadrant, the Learner has not
  yet achieved desired results but nevertheless
  possesses deep insights into the antecedents of
  excellence. This is the leader who will look and
  dig deeply into the data, rather than blaming the
  students or expressing bewilderment like the
  Loser. While the Loser says, It beats meit
  must be the kids, the Learner says this

150

• I've analyzed the data deeply, and here are my
  preliminary conclusions. First, although our
  average scores are disappointing, I've noticed
  that we have exceptional success in some isolated
  areas. Mr. Jasper's 4th graders excel in
  geometry, and Ms. Fitch's 2nd graders made
  enormous gains in vocabulary. I've conducted some
  extensive observations of both their classes and
  noted that they are engaging in some remarkably
  different teaching and classroom assessment
  practices. Our collective challenge is to conduct
  a treasure hunt and find other pockets of
  excellence and then determine how we can
  identify, document, and replicate these
  practices.

151

• The Leader enjoys the optimal combination of
  high results and deep understanding of the
  antecedents of excellence, yet is perpetually
  seeking opportunities to improve. Even if more
  than 80 percent of our students are meeting state
  standards, we still have a lot of work to do,
  the Leader says. Not only do we need to work on
  the 15 to 20 percent of our students who are not
  yet proficient, but we clearly need to provide a
  higher level of challenge for those students for
  whom our state standards are a floor, not a
  ceiling.

152
Learning is FUNDAMENTAL

153

• Are we preparing children for their future
• or our past?

154
Coming Together, Sharing Together, Working
Together
Succeeding Together!
155

• Designed For Accomplishment!
• Greatness is not a function of circumstance.
  Greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of
  conscious choice, and discipline.
• -Jim Collins
