Faced with a vast list of roles and responsibilities and answering
to a broad array of stakeholders, school administrators can feel
like they must constantly play the role of invincible superhero.
Rarely do they have the opportunity to engage in the kind of
reflection, inquiry, and collegial sharing that is so effective in
teacher professional development. In Leading and Learning, Fred
Brill draws on personal narratives from new and experienced school
administrators to examine common themes, concerns, successes, and
failures. From these stories, practices and protocols emerge to
help administrators navigate the complexity of their jobs, and
better manage their own professional development. Leading and
Learning examines the administrative roles of school leaders from
"enforcer" to "system-builder," to "instructional leader" as well
as the psychological, emotional aspects of the position, and the
impact of school culture. Fred shares research on the success and
structures of professional learning communities and shows how the
power of combining PLCs with the practice of reflective
storytelling results in better school leadership and professional
growth. Woven throughout the book are stories from over 260
interviews with school administrators that will energize readers
while generating chuckles and knowing nods. The book's goal is to
provide a model that inspires change in schools and in
administrator induction programs. By offering a detailed analysis
of effective (and ineffective) leadership, Leading and Learning
gives readers a new method for making decisions, solving problems,
and working to get things done in their school communities. And by
demonstrating the power of reflective storytelling and
collaborative learning, it provides school leaders with an
effective process for more clearly translating belief into action.
