Everything you need to implement school change that gets results!
If you’ve been wondering how to effectively lead and manage results-driven, system-wide implementations, look no further. Internationally recognized education expert Michael Barber explores exactly how to translate policy into practice for long-term, measurable results.
Building on his groundbreaking book, Deliverology 101, Barber provides proven methods and clear steps to achieve successful policy implementation and offer practical solutions for reviving stalled reform efforts. New cases studies and embedded links help you develop a delivery “skillset” for building capacity, effective coalitions, and a coherent, flexible plan for implementation.
Leaders and staff at both national and local levels will learn to:
- Establish a Delivery Unit to set clear, measureable goals and build a reform coalition
- Understand delivery through data analysis and strategic progress monitoring
- Plan for delivery with explicit, day-to-day implementation planning updated with proven methods from years of practice
- Drive delivery with progress monitoring, momentum building, and course corrections
- Create an irreversible delivery culture by identifying and addressing challenges as they occur
Don’t leave your education policy implementation to chance. Use this new field guide to get your implementation on the right track today!
“At the Council of Chief State School Officers, we have worked closely with the Education Delivery Institute to improve our delivery against our goals. Today, we are better identifying our goals, measuring our progress and delivering on results. We are still improving these processes every day, and now we are able to share these best practices with our member states.”
“Colleges are filled with smart people with great ideas and lots of data that never get integrated into decisions. This volume will change that. The delivery approach is amazingly both simple and effective and this practical guide will walk anyone through to success."
“Deliverology 101 showed us what and why; Deliverology in Practice shows us how. This practical, case-study-based guide from the excellent team at the Education Delivery Institute is an invaluable tool for education leaders and administrators wanting to drive efforts to improve student success and narrow achievement gaps—two of the most urgent challenges facing educational institutions today.”
“EDI has designed an effective process to connect external goals with internal operations.”
“This book is a field guide to effective education improvement efforts. If you are responsible for leading ambitious, complex change in public education, you will appreciate the wisdom of experience and the practical guidance contained in these pages.”
"At the heart of learning is the connection between teachers and students. In order to support what happens in the classroom, our school, district, and state leaders must be equipped to effectively implement bold, evidence-based policy reforms. Deliverology in Practice brings together a toolbox of protocols, rubrics, processes and stories which education leaders at all levels can draw on as they work to raise outcomes and close achievement gaps."
