Recenzje

As an educator for 42 years, it is so refreshing to finally have a Principal's Desk Reference that provides the "How To" in implementing these well-defined educational leadership standards. This book is very useful in providing support and enabling principals and educational leaders to continually grow and develop throughout their career.

As a practitioner, I cannot think of a more timely, relevant, and useful resource for our nation's educational leaders. The authors of this book have over 60 years of experience upon which readers can draw reflection. Even the most seasoned leader will find this book to be useful in describing what effective leaders should know and be able to do to achieve success with each professional standard. The authors have done a tremendous job in paying close attention to what matters most in our work.

Kristi Wilson, President of the American Association of School Administrators (2020-2021)

This book honestly and thoughtfully delivers specific solutions to many of the challenges and struggles educational leaders face today. The authors successfully recognize the value of gaining real-life support from proven effective school leaders who have experienced many of the same challenges and are eager to share their best practices and lessons learned. Most important is how the authors provide tangible ways to understand and implement the Professional Standards for Educational Leaders in ways that will support a successful career long term.

As you read Chapter 5 imagine a New Mexico feast. The beans, rice and enchiladas are superbly prepared - they represent curriculum, instruction and assessment so well researched and described. The spices are the success stories immersed in the chapter. Adjacent to your platter are your sopapillas and honey. They are eaten with the meal. The sopapillas and honey represent the constant care for adults and children immersed in Chapter 5.
