The latest edition of Diana Oxley’s guidebook offers a knowledge base, tools, and resources for implementing and deepening SLC practice. Oxley guides readers through five domains required to transform a 20th-century comprehensive high school into a 21st-century learning organization:

1. Interdisciplinary Teaching and Learning Teams
2. Rigorous, Relevant Curriculum and Instruction
3. Inclusive Program and Instructional Practices
4. SLC-Based Continuous Program Improvement
5. Building and District Support for SLCs

Each domain features a best practices checklist and reasons why these practices are essential. This edition also features a bibliography citing the most recent evidence of positive effects of SLCs.

Oxley’s guidebook is accompanied by a booklet and CD with tools designed to help educators pursue a cyclical process of planning and improving SLC practice. The user-friendly, reproducible tools and templates can be used to assess one’s own practice in each of the five SLC domains, conduct a gap analysis between existing and desired practice, and create implementation plans.
