This book offers educational leaders the opportunity to use critical spirituality as a practice to wage war against the miseducation of so many of the nation's children and youth. The book demands attention be paid to the societal issues that impact what happens in schools.

Recenzje

"In these times of overwhelming uncertainty, Leading with a Critical Spirit urges educational leaders to move away from technical managerial approaches to leadership and begin to bring their whole selves into the work of leading the field. Now we see mind, body, and spirit as essential elements of educational innovation, reform, and leadership." Gloria Ladson-Billings, Emerita, FBA Immediate Past President, National Academy of Education Fellow, The British Academy Fellow, American Academy of Arts and Sciences Fellow, American Educational Research Association
