	<ABSTRACT>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';&quot;&gt;Bill Ferriter, a North Carolina NBCT, describes the six steps that &lt;i&gt;Transforming Schools &lt;/i&gt;identifies as necessary to continuous improvement: identifying and clarifying core beliefs, creating a shared vision of what those beliefs look like in practice, collect accurate data and use its analysis, identify innovations to close gaps, develop and implement an action plan, and &amp;ldquo;embrace collaborative autonomy.&amp;rdquo;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
