Inspired by Studer Group's success in improving the performance of healthcare organizations through Evidence‐Based LeadershipSM principles, Janet Pilcher, PH.D and Robin Largue, do an outstanding job of transferring these ideas in their new book How to Lead Teachers To Become Great.

How to Lead Teachers to Become Great was written to help education leaders create great places for teachers to teach, students to learn, and places for parents to send their children.

The book is structured around five Evidence‐Based Classroom Learning Principles—and 14 Tactics that fall underneath them—which result in improved learning results, improved parental satisfaction and improved teacher performance. It will:

  • Help school leaders recruit and retain highly effective teachers
  • Provide techniques for dealing with low performing teachers
  • Help leaders create a results‐driven culture
  • Guide teachers on what they can expect from leaders
  • Focus teachers on what students are learning rather than what they, themselves, are teaching

Ultimately, every idea in How to Lead Teachers to Become Great is aimed at helping students achieve outstanding results—which is, after all, the goal of everyone involved.

About Quint Studer


Quint Studer, Founder and CEO of Studer Group, began his professional life as a special education teacher and is now devoting time to hardwiring his tremendous successes with healthcare organizations into today's schools. Quint is passionate about K12 education. When people ask Quint how his tactics in healthcare translate into education, he says, "very easily." He took what he learned from being a special education teacher and created strategies that moved some of the lowest performing hospitals in the country to high performing ones.

Believing that the results achieved in healthcare could translate directly into our schools, several districts have piloted Evidence-Based Leadership tools ant tactics. Something remarkable has happened along the way. Teachers and school leaders at these districts have become energized, re-purposed and believe that they are doing worthwhile work that makes a difference in the lives of children and parent lives.
