Abstract	Instructional quality is one of the most important factors in effective teaching. Without it, school reform is impossible. How can leaders develop and implement strategies to improve faculty quality and then manage the process of school reform in today's complex school environments? The authors answer this question through the study of a systemic reform initiative that was launched in San Diego, California in the late 1990s. San Diego was selected for the study because of its proactive attempts to address the quality of teaching, while simultaneously incorporating California's complex, multi-faceted policies directed at education reform. "Instructional Leadership for Systemic Change": (1) Provides a rich, comprehensive description of how a major urban school reform initiative was undertaken; (2) Describes political conflicts and implementation issues that occur in real world reform; (3) Describes the changes undertaken to revise the reform each year; and (4) Details the various outcomes that occurred for schools and students at different levels. This book will be useful to administrators in training, students of leadership and reform, and researchers and policy analysts interested in the anatomy of school change and improvement. The nine chapters in the book are as follows: (1) Building Instructional Quality: A New Theory of Educational Improvement; (2) Instructional Reform in San Diego City Schools: A Thoughtful Strategy for Change; (3) Changing the System at the Top: Rethinking the District; (4) Charting the Results of the Reform; (5) Reform at the Elementary Level: Changing Practice, Changing Culture; (6) Reform at the Middle School Level: From the Inside Out; (7) The Teachers' View: Where Reform Hits the Road; (8) Meeting the Needs of High Schools: Reforming the Reform; and (9) Conclusion. Also included in the book are a list of figures and tables; acknowledgments; references; index; information about the authors; and an appendix (San Diego City School District-Wide Student Performance, SAT-9).
