Practical & Doable

June 10, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I almost didn't buy this book because I thought the title was simplistic. Another book that gives us ## steps to accomplish xyz. However, I am glad I purchased the book as Todd Whitaker focuses his attention on what matters most, people! He is clear and to the point about what matters most in leading school. He provides practical ideas that make so much sense. He does not waste time philosophizing about things we cannot control. He spends time looking at practices that are within our reach and within our sphere of influence. I highly recommend this book.

One of the best books I have read in my ed leadership classes. Practical, hands-on information that everyone can use. My principal is currently reading it and has shared how he is applying it even while he's in the middle of reading it.

Being a three year assistant principal, seeking for the first time a principal position, I re-read this book. I first read this book three years ago. My belief in these 18 "ideas" have only strengthened. The book is easy to read and constantly makes you think about your practices.

Every Principal Please Read

This was a great read. As an assistant principal now taking on my first school as the head principal this book is a great resource to remind you about the things that matter. I think this book is great because it focuses on important leadership qualities while making it very relevant for the school leader.

This was a well written book with many relevant stories that will help every principal be great. Such good examples of what great principals do differently. A must read for any principal before they start and once they have begun practicing.
