GAVONI, PAUL & COSTA, ANIKA - Quick Wins!: Using Behavior Science to Accelerate and Sustain School Improvement

Quick Wins is a systematic approach grounded in organizational behavior science for achieving results and rapidly transforming schools.

Grounded in Organizational Behavior Management (OBM), or the science of human behavior for making a positive difference in any school or organization, the book’s goal is to be a school leader’s “grab and go” resource for building momentum for change. Though it is written from the perspective of a school leader, you don’t have to be a school leader to leverage the power of Quick Wins. Whether you are a school district official, principal, assistant principal, dean, guidance counselor, behavior analyst, or a school consultant, or you hold any administrative position where you engage people to implement change, this book is intended for you.

Reading Quick Wins will give you a clear understanding and actionable steps related to:

* Engaging the team to rally around Quick Wins
* Using the power of direct observations and conversations during school improvement initiatives
* Understanding the importance of feedback to build trust, self-efficacy, and performance
* Perfecting the use and role of goals for school improvement
* Developing leadership’s role in delivering effective communication and feedback
