Routledge The Inner Principal: 3 (Student Outcomes and the Reform of Education)

Product Description This is an account of how a principal combines the rational and emotional components of leadership to lead the transformation of a school. Most attempts at reform come from the outside, with people wishing to impose a curriculum and benchmarks; this book assumes that schools can transform themselves, but only when those involved in schools (especially principals) develop self-respect and achieve self-actualization. The author believes, and has demonstrated in his colleges, that a sensitive, thoughtful, proactive leadership might yet deliver the quality outcomes that the community desires from schooling. Review "For reflective school leaders, here is an important text." -The Practicing Administrator "Books by practitioners are rare. Don't miss reading this one." -Bookshelf
