Additional Information
“As a former urban educator, I truly appreciate this book. Urban schools, like other schools, have their own unique challenges and strengths. The Brilliance in the Building provides specific guidance on how the PLC at Work process can both address the challenges of urban education and enhance its assets simultaneously. Bo Ryan shares not only theory, but also a wealth of practical insight and strategies that have made him and his school so successful.”
“Bo Ryan provides a blueprint for how to build and improve a PLC by tapping into the knowledge and passion of the collective group—the ‘brilliance in the building.’ A must-read resource for anyone looking to transform their urban school, or any school.”
“Bo Ryan has created an invaluable resource for building administrators and PLC leaders that is full of research and strategies made actionable with many excellent tools for implementation and reflection on current reality.”
“I love how Bo Ryan makes the case for leveraging the collective expertise of staff in the service of excellence in urban schools. And while he addresses some of the unique characteristics and challenges of education in urban schools, he doesn't cast them as broken or in need of ‘special treatment.’ If you strip the jargon around urban schools, what you're left with is a mission-driven leader advocating for excellent systems, growth mindset, and purposeful practice.”
