Optimum Learning for All Students: Highlights from the Research Literature

Abstract
Highlights are shared from an extensive review of the research literature on optimum student learning, quality teaching practices, quality leadership practices, as well as the research on other countries/jurisdictions where a ’standards-based’ approach to teaching, school, and system leading have been adopted. Representatives of the four-university research team from the Universities of Alberta, Calgary, Lethbridge, and Concordia University of Edmonton share insights from the literature that are foundational to the Alberta Education authorized 4-year longitudinal mixed-methods research study designed to assess, deepen, and extend the implementation process for Alberta’s three professional practice standards: The Teaching Quality Standard, the Leadership Quality Standard, and the Superintendent Leadership Quality Standard. Slides were presented at the ULead Conference in Banff, Alberta on May 14, 2019.
