"This book is a must-read for building and system leaders. Zepeda offers a framework for leaders to improve instructional practices for underperforming teachers, and she provides clarity in assembling cues, approaches, and tools to support leaders. This book is a great read for busy school leaders who want to increase student performance by better understanding how to improve instruction across your school and district. Zepeda gets to the point in a clear and easy to follow manner. This book is of such quality that it will easily become the go-to book for school leaders and those who work with underperforming teachers in their schools and systems." --Philip D. Lanoue, Superintendent, Clarke County School District, GA"In this book, one of the most prolific authors in the field makes a clarion call to school leaders to embrace their moral responsibility regarding underperforming teachers. Zepeda not only calls for leaders of learning to display the courage to address issues of underperformance, but also provides myriad strategies for assisting struggling teachers, and when all else fails, for removing teachers who have no commitment or potential to improve."--Stephen P. Gordon, Professor of Education and Community Leadership, Texas State University, USA
