Summary:

"In Small Changes, Big Impact: Ten Strategies to Promote Student Efficacy and Lifelong Learning, authors Anthony R. Reibel and Matt Thede describe a series of 10 small scale changes that can be utilized to create significant, positive change within schools. The authors relate their visit to Adlai Stevenson High School and their subsequent realization that there were numerous changes that could be ported from SHS to their own school. They realized that these changes could be made within their own, much smaller, school for little cost. According to the authors, there are ten small-scale changes that can be implemented in any school to encourage positive growth. In this book, the authors describe each of these changes. They deftly explain the concepts and ideas that support the effectiveness of these changes and provide numerous actionable strategies that will aid in their implementation. Through this book, readers will learn how to make big improvements through small changes"-- Provided by publisher.
