This book focuses on what school leaders need to know and
understand about leadership for learning, and for learning to read
in particular. It brings together theory, research and practice on
leadership for literacy. The book reports on the findings from six
studies that followed school principals from their involvement in a
professional learning program consisting of five modules on
leadership and the teaching of reading, to implementation action in
their schools. It describes how they applied a range of strategies
to create leadership partnerships with their teachers, pursuing
eight related dimensions from a Leadership for Learning framework
or blueprint. The early chapters of the book feature the use of
practical tools as a focus for leadership activity. These chapters
consider, for example, how principals and teachers can develop
deeper understandings of their schools' contexts; how professional
discussions can be conducted with a process called 'disciplined
dialogue'; and how principals might encourage approaches to shared
leadership with their teachers. The overall findings presented in
this book emphasise five positive positions on leadership for
learning to read: the importance of an agreed moral purpose;
sharing leadership for improvement; understanding what learning to
read involves; implementing and evaluating reading interventions;
and recognising the need for support for leaders' learning
on-the-job.

RAGBAG is the twelfth book and fourth collection of poetry by
prize-winning fiction writer/artist/critic Elisabeth Goss Stevens.
RAGBAG focuses intensely, and often humorously, on the mundane but
powerful things that dominate our everyday lives. Old clothes,
zippers, an elastic sock, an empty refrigerator and even dust
assume unexpected, sometimes threatening importance and underlying
meanings. "Anyone reading Elisabeth Stevens' poetry will be drawn
in by the depth of its emotion and simultaneous control: the
perception is wonderfully acute." Josephine Jacobsen, 21st poet
laureate of the United States "Comic irony is the lens through
which Elisabeth Stevens views her world of spare romance and failed
expectations as well as fulfilling moments of daily joy. Beneath
the wry comedy is a terror at what has not been seen and which may
yet reappear more boldly. The combination makes her poems teasing
and quirky, and quietly but powerfully provocative." Martin Tucker,
poet, critic and editor of Confrontation

Venturing into Usefulness, the second volume of The Selected Papers
of Jane Addams, documents the experience of this major American
historical figure, intellectual, social activist, and author
between June 1881, when at twenty-one she had just graduated from
Rockford Female Seminary, and early 1889, when she was on the verge
of founding the Hull-House settlement with Ellen Gates Starr.
During these years she was developing into the social reformer and
advocate of women's rights, socioeconomic justice, and world peace
she would eventually become. She evolved from a high-minded but
inexperienced graduate of a women's seminary into an educated woman
and seasoned traveler well-exposed to elite culture and circles of
philanthropy. Artfully annotated, The Selected Papers of Jane
Addams offers an evocative choice of correspondence, photographs,
and other primary documents, presenting a multi-layered narrative
of Addams's personal and emerging professional life. Themes
inaugurated in the previous volume are expanded here, including
dilemmas of family relations and gender roles; the history of
education; the dynamics of female friendship; religious belief and
ethical development; changes in opportunities for women; and the
evolution of philanthropy, social welfare, and reform ideas.
