Any coach, principal, or superintendent who is interested in accelerating professional learning will find this book useful."</em>--Jim Knight, Research Associate, Center for Research on Learning, University of Kansas (9/14/2009 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>A leader′s job is not to have all of the right answers, but to ask the right questions--questions that help the team dig deeper into more meaningful solutions. Not only does this book address self-inquiry for school leaders, it offers tools and learning support for leaders committed to improving and refining their inquiry-based leadership.</em>--Betty Burks, Deputy Superintendent (6/29/2009 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>A must-read for all school leaders. This practical guide on how to create an inquiry-oriented approach to decision making enables adult learners in the school to sustain school improvement and that fosters a higher level of thinking that will benefit students, parents, and the community.</em>--Betsy Rogers, School Improvement Specialist (8/4/2009 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>One does not immediately think of questioning as a leadership tool. Yet the compelling and engaging strategies thoughtfully described in this book will make any leader realize the power of an artful question. This is an invaluable handbook for those eager to listen differently to people, enter into dialogue about sensitive topics, and structure opportunities for people to talk constructively.</em>--Joellen Killion, Deputy Executive Director (7/15/2009 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>The focus of the book complements the work we are currently doing in our school district to create reflective practitioners. For the past year we have been training our school administrators and teacher leaders in how to support the professional growth of our faculty by using coaching language. The concept of applying quality questioning provides the perfect vehicle for furthering our work in reflective practice! The Leading through Quality Questioning Framework is a clear and concise way to get the big picture of how questioning can be used to foster a culture of continuous improvement. The chapters that follow allow the reader to put the meat on the bones of the framework!</em>--Christopher Corallo, Director of Staff Development (9/1/2009 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Walsh and Sattes have captured the essence of one of the key features of a good leader: the ability to coach others. Their quality questioning framework helps school leaders understand that the way they structure a question can be the key to building organizational capacity.</em>--Yvonne V. Thayer, Certified Professional Coach (7/23/2009 12:00:00 AM)<br>
