In education we are working on behalf of a truly noble cause: the
lives of our students. We need a system for working together that
is worthy of the work and one that harnesses the idealistic visions
and inherent energies that brought us to education in the first
place. Becoming A Great School prepares you to create that system.
The authors challenge top-down leadership as a vestige of the past
which fails to fully engage today's teaching professionals. They
explain why the following structures are essential to school
revitalization: an intrinsically-motivated, energized workforce
functioning smoothly together as a team; a clear focus which
inspires cohesion and a sense of purpose; and a process which
gradually renews the school's educational systems piece-by-piece.
The outcome is what American education needs: stronger,
revitalized, more effective, extraordinary schools - and it is all
accomplished from within. Ken, Nels and Joe reveal the quality
management principles and collaborative leadership skills that led
to amazing results for them, while detailing the practices
necessary for educators to achieve the same outcomes in their
schools. Become the leader you imagined yourself to be while
creating the school you always wanted to work in.
