Written by Tim Kanold, Mona Toncheff, Matthew R. Larson, and Brian Buckhalter, the resource functions as a strategic roadmap for district leaders. It focuses on the PLC at Work methodology, pushing administrators to move beyond general oversight toward precise, evidence-based instructional management. By aligning teams around essential learning outcomes, the authors argue that schools can move from fragmented teaching styles to a unified, rigorous approach.

The guide highlights 80 distinct look-fors designed to help leaders navigate collaborative conversations and identify instructional deficiencies in real time. This release aligns with the broader professional development initiatives at Solution Tree, which include upcoming summits and on-site training sessions. The material is currently available for preorder, targeting school systems that struggle to maintain equity and consistent standards across diverse classrooms.
