“Theory and research provide the foundation for change, but it is the actions undertaken by school leaders that drive transformation. Sheninger and Murray move well beyond the buzzwords and latest hype by providing a well-grounded, scholarly book that links theory, research, practical strategies, and evidence to move schools forward. The credible argument articulated is made even more impressive with the practical solutions found throughout Learning Transformed.”

— Robert J. Marzano, Cofounder and CAO, Marzano Research

“Our team has been immersed in deep learning for five years, and I can say without a doubt that Sheninger and Murray don’t miss a trick. Learning Transformed has it all: Eight Keys that are concise, clear, and comprehensive. Great insights across the whole book. The chapter on learning spaces and design is a gem—an innovative treasure trove of new ideas. The use of successful practitioners at the end of each chapter to bring home the points is especially powerful in consolidating the lessons learned. Put Learning Transformed on your short list to read and use!”

— Michael Fullan, Author and Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto

“Imagine schools and classrooms designed to develop students who are energized by learning, who are preparing for life in the world they inhabit, and who are taught by forward-thinking teachers supported in their own professional growth trajectories. In this design, equity is a non-negotiable, environments release creative energies, and communities are no longer outside the school. Learning Transformed points the way to actualizing our best understanding of teaching and learning as the central element in the critical work of school reform.”

“Leading Professional Learning: Tools to Connect and Empower Teachers masterfully connects how and why professional learning for teachers can be transformed. It’s an accessible, practical resource that every educator should have in their toolkit.”

— Cindy Johanson, Executive Director, Edutopia, George Lucas Educational Foundation

“This is a brief, but powerful, book about making professional learning for teachers more meaningful and personal. Murray and Zoul have identified several important ways to improve how we support our teachers’ learning so that they are better equipped to support their students. The book offers practical tips that schools and districts can take and use immediately.”

— Todd Whitaker, Professor of Department of Educational Leadership, Indiana State University

“Murray and Zoul present a refreshingly practical guide for bringing professional learning into the 21st century. In addition to sharing a compelling vision for how technology can supercharge collaboration among educators, they also provide specific approaches and tools so anyone can make the transformation in their own school.”

— Richard Culatta, Education Innovator

“Murray and Zoul remind us that all educators are, at their core, still learners. Leading Professional Learning is a call for all teachers and administrators to be models for their students: curious about new ideas, and armed with the skills to discover answers. This book prepares them well for all of this.”
