TO BUILD GREAT SCHOOLS AT SCALE, MAKE THE SHIFT FROM ADMINISTRATOR TO INSTRUCTIONAL LEADER

A common refrain among principal managers is: "Nothing prepared me for this." Support and training for leaders who transition from serving as principals to managing principals is scarce. Who leads these leaders and how can they tell whether their work is making an impact?

That′s where this book comes in. A Principal Manager′s Guide to Leverage Leadership 2.0 gives you the framework and tools to shift your approach from administration to instructional leadership. With this book in hand, you can start developing principals instead of just evaluating them, making direct improvements to teaching and driving success across your schools.

• Improve your capacity to coach principals to accelerate their development, using a trajectory of leader action steps linked to the seven levers of leadership
• Create the conditions for district–wide success by offering flexible support and increased in–school presence
• Design your schedule to maximize time spent on instructional leadership
• Utilize ready–made training materials and video clips to lead workshops for your leadership team and streamline implementation

Whether your schools are large or small, rural or urban, successful or struggling, your principals can thrive with your guidance. The path ahead may be long, but this book provides the roadmap you′ve been looking for.

"If your goal is to become a more strategic practitioner, you must have A Principal Manager′s Guide to Leverage Leadership 2.0 in your library! It provides educational leaders at all levels with practical tools to accelerate principals′ development to impact learning outcomes for students. This book emphasizes what we already know: the real work is done before you even step foot in the classroom! This book has transformed the way I support my school leaders."
Celeste Douglas, Assistant Superintendent, District 18, New York City Public Schools

"Paul has few peers in the crusade to ensure school leaders have high fidelity, high priority practices critical to grow the capacity of their teachers so they can ensure student growth. His latest book fills another void: a clear, detailed map for principal supervisors and coaches to travel further down the road towards student growth. Inspiring...and our school leaders are so thankful!"
Rosemary Perlmeter, Founding Director, Master′s in Urban School Leadership, SMU

"Working with Bambrick–Santoyo and the content of this book has been a defining event in my professional life which has made me stronger and better (faster). Following the guidance and protocols set forth in A Principal Manager′s Guide to Leverage Leadership 2.0 helped me strengthen my practice and build the capacity of the leaders I support. Now principal managers have a common language and tools to have a laser–focus on improving the teaching and learning, which can profoundly impact student achievement as it has for us."
