Leading the Rebound
20+ Must-Dos to Restart Teaching and Learning



April 2021 | 112 pages | Corwin
Let’s make the “next normal” a “better normal”

If there ever was a time for our heroic school leadership to persevere, it’s now. Because now, well over one year since the pandemic stretched the resilience and reserves of our school systems, it’s time to “rebound.” It’s time to leverage this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reboot teaching and learning as we know it so that we magnify the effective practices from the past while leveraging the so many recent lessons learned.

This is where Doug Fisher, Nancy Frey, Dominique Smith, and John Hattie, coauthors of The Distance Learning Playbook series, are ideally equipped to serve as your collaborators.

Inside Leading the Rebound: 20+ Must-Dos to Restart Teaching and Learning you’ll find immediate actions, mindsets, and approaches to take if we’re to reimagine and improve our schools and school systems. Step by step, you’ll discover explicit guidance on how to:  
 
1. Take care of yourself
2. Take stock and find the path
3. Rebuild teacher agency
4. Rebuild collective teacher efficacy
5. Foreground social and emotional learning
6. Change the learning loss narrative
7. Guide teacher clarity
8. Ensure instructional excellence
9. Use assessments for a range of purposes
10. Design and implement interventions
11. Win back parent-teacher relationships
12. Establish restorative practices

Given the turbulent nature of our times, we are facing a nexus in public education. We need to re-establish our schools’ culture that will direct knowledge into wisdom, transform fear into hope and lift isolationism into compassionate engagement. It is more urgent than ever for leaders to be bold and courageous to take back the spirit of public education. Leading the Rebound will offer the reader crucial strategies to embark on this critical journey.

It is time to stop saying we changed something in education because of COVID and start saying we changed this because COVID gave us the opportunity to rethink education. Leading the Rebound: 20+ Must-Dos to Restart Teaching and Learning is the perfect book to help districts and schools move forward from the pandemic. The book offers support and guidance on all aspects of the education process, including social and emotional learning; curriculum, instruction, and assessment; classroom management; teacher evaluation and feedback; and parent–teacher–student relationships. Instructional Leadership Teams can utilize this book as a reference to help them identify where their gaps are, consider the reality, the recommendations, redefine and redirect, and agree to commitments. I could not put this down. Books from Fisher and Frey never disappoint and this is no different.
