In this nurturing and much-anticipated work, the author shows us exactly how to make this happen. Sound theory, vivid examples, and a practice-ready framework--it's all here! Anyone who cares about making our schools better will feel richly rewarded for spending time with this encouraging book."</em>--Robert Kegan, Meehan Professor of Adult Learning and Professional Development (4/6/2009 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>"With this comprehensive and compelling book, Eleanor Drago-Severson establishes herself as a leading expert on authoritative leadership in education."</em>--Howard Gardner, Author of Leading Minds (4/6/2009 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>As complete a primer for leading adult learning as can be found in print today. Each chapter includes cases and lessons from the field and reflective questions. Eleanor Drago-Severson combines research and practice to create an essential handbook for leaders of adults.</em>--The School Administrator Magazine, January 2011 (12/22/2010 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Building on the ′pillar practices′ of her earlier work and animated with stories, exercises, and illustrations, this book offers both lucid explication of the powerful insights of constructive developmental theory and intensely practical partnership in how to put it all to work on Monday morning. In these hard times, this is a welcome and hopeful blueprint for the reanimation of our schools and the transformation of our communities.</em>--Laurent A. Parks Daloz, Senior Fellow (4/6/2009 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>There is no greater opportunity for improving public education than to make schools places where adults learn and lead together. In her rich and engaging book, Drago-Severson explores the challenge of this important work and shows us how success is both possible and deeply rewarding.</em>--Susan Moore Johnson, Pforzheimer Professor of Teaching and Learning (5/15/2009 12:00:00 AM)<br>
