Harness the power of reflection : continuous school improvement from the front office to the classroom / Ron Nash.

"Harness the Power of Reflections aims to get students engaged and passionate about their own learning by first getting teachers and administrators involved in a continuous-improvement professional development program. Going beyond the classroom and into the offices of school personnel, this book stresses the importance of each educator's own continuous-improvement journey as a means of best serving the needs of students. This book provides a framework for evaluating a school organization and processes a school can implement in order to foster organizational dedication to ongoing, schoolwide improvement"--Provided by publisher
