ABSTRACT

The title for this book was chosen deliberately. This book is for school leaders. What exactly does the term mean? A school leader can be found holding a number of positions. Obviously, the school superintendent is in this category. Also, principals, assistant principals, and central office administrators are likely candidates. A school leader is also a department head who is balancing the roles of teaching with those of shaping the direction of a curricular area. A school leader is also a classroom teacher who assumes responsibility for sponsoring a club or activity that benefits the student body. Likewise, the person who is developing ideas and sharing them with colleagues wears the mantle of leadership.
