It is quite possible that about half of today's high school graduates will not have the knowledge or skills needed to get a decent job when they graduate. Tomorrow's high school graduates will be able to thrive in this environment, but only if school superintendents, central office executives, and principals use the strategies employed by the world's topperforming education systems to build the highperformance education systems today's students will need to succeed tomorrow.In Leading HighPerformance School Systems: Lessons from the World's Best, Marc Tucker, a leading expert on topperforming school systems with more than 30 years of experience studying the global economy and education systems worldwide, details how topperforming school systems have met headon the challenges facing school leaders today. You'll learn why our current system is obsolete, explore the knowledge and skills needed to design and build firstrate education systems, and gain a solid understanding of the key elements of highperformance school systems, including the following: A powerful, coherent instructional system with schoolleaving certifications that mean much more than today's high school diploma. Partnerships with firstrate universities to ensure a steady supply of highly capable, welleducated, and welltrained teachers. Schools reorganized around highly qualified professional teachers with a career ladder they can climb. High expectations and personalized support to ensure that children arrive at each grade level ready to learn. An equitable system that closes the gaps in student performance.
