Review of Educational Research, 2003
"This Field Guide to Comer Schools in Action provides exactly what its title offers: guidelines to curricula, instruction, and educational development necessary to implementing the Comer process. . . .

John I. Goodlad, President
Institute for Educational Inquiry
The tried, tested, and true approach to instructional leadership and staff development that support academic achievement and life success!
Schools are the only universally accessible institutions where there are enough adults to provide continuous support for children's growth, development, and success in life. Using the process pioneered by renowned child psychiatrist Dr. James P. Comer and his colleagues at the Yale School Development Program (SDP), this unique field guide offers school leaders, school staff, and teachers a comprehensive and effective framework for providing curriculum and instruction that help all children grow and develop along the pathways that support success both in school and in life.
Combining research; evidence-based best practices; essential tools for planning, data analysis, assessment, and program evaluation; and a generous collection of charts, tables, and graphics, Dynamic Instructional Leadership to Support Student Learning and Development offers educators a state-of-the-art guide to:
- Mobilizing all of the stakeholders in the learning community to support instructional excellence as a system responsibility
- Modeling of instructional excellence by school principals, district leaders, and university partners
- Aligning curriculum, instruction, and assessment with standards and research-based best practices
- Linking child development to challenging and rigorous classroom instruction based on respect, trust, and high expectations for all students
- Teaching essentials of literacy, math, and science that provide positive developmental experiences for all learners
- Teachers helping teachers for professional development and school improvement
Dynamic Instructional Leadership to Support Student Learning and Development is the first-ever published field guide to the tried, tested, and true methods used by the Comer Process to promote academic achievement and life success for all children.
