Deliverology in Practice
How Education Leaders Are Improving Student Outcomes



December 2015 | 384 pages | Corwin
The follow up book to Deliverology 101, this book provides much needed support for educational leaders to reach student achievement targets that culminate in improving the college and career readiness of their high school graduates and ensuring their success in post-secondary education. Deliverology 101 laid out the case for change and theory of change promised by the deliverology methodology. Deliverology in Practice builds on this foundation by examining how this theory of change has played out in multiple education systems over the course of the last few years.

Index

“At the Council of Chief State School Officers, we have worked closely with the Education Delivery Institute to improve our delivery against our goals. Today, we are better identifying our goals, measuring our progress and delivering on results. We are still improving these processes every day, and now we are able to share these best practices with our member states.”

Chris Minnich, Executive Director
Council of Chief State School Officers

“Colleges are filled with smart people with great ideas and lots of data that never get integrated into decisions. This volume will change that. The delivery approach is amazingly both simple and effective and this practical guide will walk anyone through to success."

Larry Abele, Provost Emeritus, Director of The Institute for Academic Leadership
Florida State University

“Deliverology 101 showed us what and why; Deliverology in Practice shows us how. This practical, case-study-based guide from the excellent team at the Education Delivery Institute is an invaluable tool for education leaders and administrators wanting to drive efforts to improve student success and narrow achievement gaps—two of the most urgent challenges facing educational institutions today.”

“EDI has designed an effective process to connect external goals with internal operations.”

Rick Melmer, Senior Advisor

“This book is a field guide to effective education improvement efforts. If you are responsible for leading ambitious, complex change in public education, you will appreciate the wisdom of experience and the practical guidance contained in these pages.”

Ross Wiener, Vice President and Executive Director of the Education and Society Program
Aspen Institute

"At the heart of learning is the connection between teachers and students. In order to support what happens in the classroom, our school, district, and state leaders must be equipped to effectively implement bold, evidence-based policy reforms. Deliverology in Practice brings together a toolbox of protocols, rubrics, processes and stories which education leaders at all levels can draw on as they work to raise outcomes and close achievement gaps."
