A comprehensive guide for aspiring school supervisors and instructional leaders. This brief version of Glickman, Gordon, and Ross-Gordon's SuperVision and Instructional Leadership: A Developmental Approach continues to break new ground by exploring, challenging, and reshaping the field of educational administration. A valuable resource for both aspiring and practicing school leaders, this book is a necessity for any school leader's library. While retaining an emphasis on collegiality, school culture, teachers as adult learners, developmental supervision, reflective inquiry, and democratic schools, this third edition continues to be a trend-setter by placing instructional leadership and school improvement within a community and societal context and presenting three new chapters on the cultural tasks of supervision.

In this book, Zach Kelehear offers readers a new perspective on an important, dynamic, and sometimes daunting issue: managing successful school-based leadership. Kelehear uses an arts-based approach to weave together notions of research-based leadership skills for successful school-based management with standards of professional competence as represented by the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) Standards for School Leaders. The author encourages readers to engage in the seemingly persistent problems and old trials of school management from a new perspective resulting in some refreshing possibilities for supporting student achievement in schools. It is also the goal of this arts-based approach that the reader might begin to more fully recognize the complexity of leading and managing students and teachers within the constantly evolving culture of today's schools. As a result of this qualitative inquiry, the author invites a new vision for old assumptions in schools, for teacher leadership, and for student learning.

In these sixteen unforgettable stories and essays, life unfolds in unpredictable ways, and the choices people make redefine their past and shape their future. Here gathered in one place is a full range of award-winning author and educator Carl Glickman's creative work: parable, tragedy, humor, mystery, memoir, and personal essay. In this collection, clueless northern college kids desegregate schools in the rural South; a town attempts to come to terms with a revered community organizer's pedophilic behavior; an old man copes with possible misunderstandings over what occurred with a promising female high school student; a child overcomes stuttering through the efforts of an unbending teacher; the mother superior of a Ukrainian convent is discovered to be the only child of a Holocaust survivor; and an African American man returns to the Georgia farmhouse of his childhood to wrestle with the death of his sister. And all the characters find themselves part of the wonder, possibility, and craziness that is life. "In my more than two decades of teaching, I have not met an aspiring writer who works harder. Carl reworks his stories until they sing." -BK Loren, author of Theft and Animal, Mineral, Radical "Glickman's stories suggest far larger worlds, complex and fraught with ambiguity. His stories exhibit a deep humanity, serious but with a certain delight about the world." -Wayne Johnson, author of Deluge and Devil You Know
