The Learning Equation：The Education Process and Effective Schools, Teachers, and Students

Maximizing the learning environment and focusing on the principles of learning are the most critical needs facing educational leaders of every rank. The Learning Equation: The Education Process and Effective Schools, Teachers, and Students develops a "learning equation" that depicts various learning situations based upon the effectiveness of the school environment and the degree to which students want to learn. The book begins with a practical framework that provides educational leaders with a means of creating an environment that will maximize student learning.

The second part of the book underscores important aspects of learning that will help both students and educational leaders. The information in the two parts of the book is captured by the development of 'the learning equation' which predicts student academic performance. The learning equation cuts through political and educational ideologies and focuses on reality.

Ultimately, the learning equation highlights how student achievement can be finally improved.
