NEW! - Future Ready Today — Where Best Practices Meet Next Practices The future is not some place we are going to, but rather what we are creating with our everyday actions. If we focus only on the practices that have been successful in the past, the education system will never be transformed. The International Center believes that educators need to be the agents of change, which requires us not only to have a future-focused vision and agenda, but also to behave our way into the future. Ray McNulty describes how some educators and schools are leading their way into the future, share a glimpse of emerging near-, mid-, and far-term education trends, and push everyone’s thinking about learning in the years ahead! This DVD is a presentation from the 2011 Model Schools Conference by Ray McNulty which runs 60 minutes and is available in the online store for $95. |

NEW! - Daggett System for Effective Instruction To improve student performance, the nation’s most rapidly improving schools have found it is essential to align the priorities, initiatives, and work of all levels of the system from classroom to school to district around instructional effectiveness. The Daggett System for Effective Instruction has been designed based on an extensive review of the research, knowledge of the best practices in these schools, and a deep understanding about what schools can reasonably afford and what they can reasonably impact. This presentation describes the system and specific tools and strategies schools can use to improve the performance of all students. This DVD is a presentation from the 2011 Model Schools Conference by Dr. Willard R. Daggett which runs 55 minutes and is available in the online store for $95. |

NEW! - Creating a Culture of High Expectations — Sharing the Message The nation’s most rapidly improving schools have created a culture of high expectations for all students, not simply because of the pending demands of the Common Core State Standards, next generation assessments, and the new teacher evaluation requirements but rather because they understood the need to prepare their students for our increasingly technological, globally competitive society. Dr. Daggett explains the imperative for high expectations and provides suggestions on how to share this message with both educators and the general public. This DVD is a presentation from the 2011 Model Schools Conference by Dr. Willard R. Daggett which runs 55 minutes and is available in the online store for $95. |

NEW! - Feedback: Time to Start Getting It I fly more than 125,000 miles a year, stay in plenty of hotels, drive rental cars, and eat in too many restaurants, but one thing is a constant. They always ask me for “feedback.” How was your stay? How can we improve our service? Yet, when I visit schools, working with leadership teams, sharing strategies with teachers, and observing classes, feedback is seldom discussed, especially student feedback! This presentation discusses what we are learning about feedback and the use of qualitative data in the education community. Data collection tools and strategies are shared to help educators get started in using feedback to improve learning. This DVD is a presentation from the 2010 Model Schools Conference by Ray McNulty which runs 55 minutes and is available in the online store for $95. |

NEW! - Supporting the System During Transformation The International Center for Leadership in Education continues to study both the nation’s most successful schools and the most rapidly improving schools. While there is no one formula for improving schools, the International Center has identified eight Components of School Excellence that schools typically address to achieve rigor, relevance, and relationships for all students. Dr. Daggett provides an overview of these components and explains how any school can make substantial improvement by addressing the components. This DVD is a presentation from the 2011 Model Schools Conference by Ray McNulty which runs 60 minutes and is available in the online store for $95. |
