Editorial Reviews

Review

“Leadership may indeed be difficult to define. This timely text will enable the reader, whether professor or practitioner, to explore and clarify perceptions of the leadership role.” (The School Administrator, January 2004 )

"What makes this workbook useful is not only that it is linked to ISLLC standards, but that it is structured to develop competencies set out by the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) Assessment Center." (The Journal of the National Staff Development Council, Fall 2004 )

“User-friendly in assisting school leaders in building their leadership skill base. The professional development opportunities embedded in this book will allow new and veteran educators to reflect and review their daily priorities and plan for future student achievement that involves all levels of the school community.” (Principal Navigator, May 2008 )
