“People want to see meaningful improvement—and they want to see it quickly,” the coauthors explain. “These improvements are easily identifiable, as they could have, and should have, been made long ago. A Quick Win does not have to be profound or have a long-term impact on your school. However, the best Quick Wins are long lasting and leave a profound effect on faculty and staff’s interest and ability to make long-term-impact changes happen. One thing is certain: A Quick Win necessitates that people agree on the need for change, act together to make the change, and learn from the change. To make such change happen, Quick Wins require leadership.”
School leaders are critical to staff performance and student achievement. By taking a Quick Wins approach and developing leadership and staff skills as described in this book, success is a matter of “when,” not “if.”
