Description: What's missing in education reform in the United States? The answer is leadership--specifically, the ability of school and district leaders to construct and continually nurture a culture of sustained high performance. A true leader needs to have not only a vision of the desired culture but also the skills and information necessary to make that vision a reality. Based in their combined 70 years of classroom and administrative experience, renowned authors James W. Guthrie and Patrick J. Schuermann offer a practice-based approach, grounded in research and theory, to achieving and maintaining an atmosphere of success in schools through effective leadership. --Book Jacket.
