The Principal as Professional Development Leader
"This is the book to read! I will recommend it to my colleagues the minute it is off the press. The authors should be very proud of their work and contribution to a pivotal need in the field. Bottom line: It will help us improve what we do for children—our ultimate purpose."(Becky J. Cooke, Principal)"At last we have a book that realistically, empathically, and interestingly describes leadership and the professional development work that needs to accompany it—for principals. It is all here: readings, web sites, theory, practice, helpful forms to use, vignettes of principals. Lindstrom and Speck are both ‘insiders’ and ‘outsiders’ teaching us in the best of ways how to both think about and act on our new knowledge!"(Ann Lieberman, Senior Scholar)
