What does it take to be a great school leader?

Be a more effective leader by turning school vision into reality, becoming a learning leader, and making professional development more meaningful.
Strengthen your learning community by differentiating instruction and leadership, fostering a positive school climate, and taking learning experiences outside the classroom.
Face today’s challenges by infusing technology into your school community, gathering and applying data, and turning crises into success.

These nine stories blend the best of theory and practice and outfit you with leadership “lesson plans” and a series of In-the-Field Activities that range from simple actions—such as sending a daily e-mail, conducting more productive meetings, and recognizing student and staff success—to complex endeavors, such as building collaborative school culture, dispersing leadership, and rethinking discipline policies.
