  36. Improving the Instructional Core Article by Richard F. Elmore Discussion led by Dr. Karen Huffman

  37. Seven Principles of Improvement Increases in student learning occur only as a consequence of improvements in the level of content, teachers’ knowledge and skill, and student engagement. If you change any single element of the instructional core, you have to change the other two. If you can’t see it in the core, it’s not there.

  38. Seven Principles of Improvement • Task predicts performance. • The real accountability system is in the tasks that students are asked to do. • We learn to do the work by doing the work. • Description before analysis, analysis before prediction, prediction before evaluation
