Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Facilitative Leadership is not a supplement to good teaching. It is a fundamentally different paradigm - one in which the teacher's highest achievement is a classroom that runs brilliantly without them at the center of it.

In this book, Leiby walks you through the entire system - from the organizational structure and the chain of command to co-constructed assessment, student-led instruction, peer accountability, and the gradual release of responsibility that transforms a classroom into a learning community. Every chapter is grounded in the research of Vygotsky, Deci and Ryan, Edmondson, Hattie, Dweck, and Fullan - and every chapter is written in plain English by a teacher who built it one uncomfortable, revelatory year at a time.>Build a student-managed organizational structure with real roles and real authority in any subjectDesign assessment criteria with students so the standard is internalized, not imposedUse the gradual release of responsibility to hand over the classroom without losing control of what mattersCreate authentic stakes that make motivation structural rather than manufacturedTreat failure as curriculum - and build the psychological safety that makes honest learning possibleIntegrate AI as a scaffold that extends student thinking rather than replacing it>Facilitative Leadership is not a supplement to good teaching. It is a fundamentally different paradigm - one in which the teacher's highest achievement is a classroom that runs brilliantly without them at the center of it.

Whether you teach construction or calculus, literature or life skills - if you believe your students are capable of more than the traditional system gives them credit for, this book was written for you.
