About the Book

Every education minister takes office with authority, ambition and a system already in motion. The Minister's Guide to K-12 Education Excellence equips ministers and their teams to lead that system with the full strength of what is proven about education excellence. The Guide brings together eight streams of evidence that are usually used separately: - global and comparative system research - school effectiveness and improvement - education leadership - teaching and learning - causal and meta-analytic impact studies - implementation science - improvement science - measurement, governance and public value. Each stream is used for the questions it can answer best. Together, they form one coherent picture of what drives education excellence. From this integrated evidence base come 100 Universal Excellence Drivers across the four levels that shape every learner's experience: system, school, leadership and teaching. The Guide then takes ministers from that complete view to the 25 drivers within national reach, the 10 that matter most now, and 3 to 5 national commitments a government can fund, deliver and sustain. Understand the whole. Focus on the few. Accelerate the journey. Create sustained value for every learner.
