Hope Is Not a Strategy: How Great Leaders Build Real Accountability - Paperback

The best schools embrace accountability--they don't run from it.

You've got strong teachers. A solid plan. Deep belief in your students. So why are you still getting inconsistent results? Why do some teachers thrive while others struggle with the same expectations?

Make no mistake: Accountability isn't the enemy of great culture--it's what creates it.

In Hope Is Not a Strategy, Dr. Brandi Chin reveals how to build systems in which teachers ask for feedback instead of avoiding it, standards raise themselves, and teams protect accountability instead of resenting it. Dr. Chin's approach has helped hundreds of leaders eliminate the exhausting cycle of retraining and reexplaining the same expectations. Her "secret sauce" has many ingredients, but accountability is the fundamental factor that brings everything together. Learn how to build a culture of commitment where consistency isn't hoped for, it's guaranteed.

Hope is not a strategy. Accountability is.
