Lacey Robinson: Gleam, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Transform classrooms and eliminate persistent student outcome gaps with research-backed instructional practices

Despite decades of reform, student achievement remains stubbornly connected to a student's background and zip code. GLEAM® introduces a transformative framework for addressing this crisis. Drawing on her experience as a teacher, a principal, and CEO of UnboundEd and CORE Learning, Lacey Robinson presents the GLEAM® hypothesis: only when teachers' mindset and planning are purposefully put into the service of grade-level, engaging, affirming, and meaningful instruction, do we see teacher actions change and students thrive.

The book breaks down each GLEAM® component, demonstrating the interdependence between grade-level instruction, engaging environments, affirming classrooms, and meaningful learning. Robinson and the UnboundEd community reject false trade-offs between rigorous standards and student-centered education, showing how high-quality materials, evidence-based practices, and students' cultural assets transform outcomes. Case studies and workbook pages provide concrete implementation tools for teachers, administrators, and educational leaders.

Readers will also find:

• A comprehensive framework for aligning teacher mindset, planning, and practice to achieve strong outcomes for every single student
• Research-backed strategies for implementing grade-level instruction while affirming students' backgrounds and existing knowledge
• Practical case studies demonstrating successful GLEAM® implementation in a wide range of K-12 classrooms and schools

GLEAM® is essential for K-12 teachers, administrators, instructional coaches, and education leaders committed to eliminating persistent educational outcome gaps. This book equips educators with tools to create classrooms where every single student receives rigorous, grade-level instruction.
