It will drive the thinking of principals and teachers who are committed to school improvement.</em>--John Pieper, Fifth-Grade Teacher (4/2/2007 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>From qualities shared by superior schools and leaders to applying leadership principles and school-tested routines, this book is packed with insights.</em>--The Bookwatch, April 2008 (5/28/2008 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Links Jim Collins's work to success in the school setting. The examples of the school leaders who were able to lead effective, systemic change are powerful.</em>--Brenda Dean, Assistant Director of Curriculum and Instruction (4/1/2007 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Lots of food for thought. The ideas and strategies will nudge people in the right direction and help administrators be brave enough to either bring about change or resist change. This would be a good book for a principal study group.</em>--Mary Johnstone, Principal (4/2/2007 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>The authors present evidence that supports a new paradigm for apprenticing school administrators-one that differs from the traditional model of un-researched best practices and standards. School leaders can use this book to inspire activities that will transform their schools and reframe their professional behaviors.</em>--Sirreadalot.org, March 2008 (4/24/2008 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>These successful principals move beyond platitudes and optimistic denial and learn to face the facts of what is necessary to improve schools--then they do it. Among other things, these star principals learn to work with their teachers and their union rather than around them.</em>--Charles Taylor Kerchner, Hollis P. Allen Professor (5/22/2007 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>This book is timely and hits all the hot topics.</em>--Ted Zigler, Professor (4/1/2007 12:00:00 AM)<br>
