LISTENING ...THE KEY TO BECOMING A TRANSFORMATIVE SCHOOL LEADER The
Listening Leader is a practical guide that will inspire school,
district, and teacher leaders to make substantive change and
increase equitable student outcomes. Rooted in the values of
equity, relationships, and listening, this luminous book helps
reimagine what is possible in education today. Drawing from more
than twenty years of experience in public schools, Shane Safir
incorporates hands-on strategies and powerful stories to show us
how to leverage one of the most vital tools of leadership:
listening. As a Listening Leader you'll feel more confident in
these core competencies: * Cultivating relationships with
stakeholders * Addressing equity challenges in your organization *
Gathering student, staff, and parent perspectives as rich data on
improvement * Fostering a thriving culture of collaboration and
innovation The Listening Leader offers a much-needed leadership
model to transform every facet of school life, and most
importantly, to shape our schools into equitable places of
learning. As Michael Fullan writes in the Foreword, "Read it, act
on it, and reap the benefits for all." "This book is a 'must have'
for any leader trying to move the needle on equity. Drawing from
her lived experience as a principal and leadership coach, Safir
offers stories that give insight and practical strategies that get
results. It's one you'll keep coming back to." Zaretta Hammond,
author of Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain " The
Listening Leader immediately changed the way I interact with
students, teachers, families and community members." Tamara
Friedman, assistant principal, Berkeley High School "Shane Safir
has written a brilliant book. As engaging as it is informative and
as revelatory as it is relevant. It is a must-read for school
leaders and those who aspire to lead." Chris Emdin, associate
professor of science education, Teachers College, Columbia
University; author of For White Folks Who Teach In the Hood and the
Rest of Ya'll too
