Build better schools by training better leaders
A Principal Manager’s Guide to Leverage Leadership answers the question that district leaders have been asking across the country: if Leverage Leadership
is a roadmap for principals on how to lead great schools, what can
principal managers and districts do to support them on that path? A Principal Manager’s Guide to Leverage Leadership
offers a step-by-step guide to coaching principals to the highest
levels of achievement, and it is rooted in studying the most successful
principal managers and districts across the country. It can be used by
principal managers/supervisors, superintendents, district and state
leadership, and principal training organizations to accelerate the
growth of principals in your community. Used in conjunction with Leverage Leadership 2.0,
this book identifies the key actions principal managers should take to
create exceptional school leaders, integrating the seven levers of
leadership into district culture from the principal manager on up. With a
particular emphasis on the two “super-levers” of data-driven
instruction and student culture, this book is packed with advice,
professional development materials, and real-world videos of principal
managers in action, offering principal managers a valuable resource for
bringing about change.
A Principal Manager’s Guide to Leverage Leadership introduces a new unifying approach that is also highlighted in Leverage Leadership 2.0:
See It, Name It, Do It. It gives you the tools to See it (see models of
effective practice and identify gaps), Name it (name concrete actions
for improvement) and Do it (provide means to practice these action steps
until a principal masters them)
With A Principal Manager’s Guide to Leverage Leadership in
hand, principal managers, superintendents and principal training
organizations can facilitate district-wide and state-wide
transformations and hasten the benefit to the students and community as a
whole.
