Leading for Effective Teaching In 2009, seven school districts and four charter management organizations (CMOs) joined with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation as Partnership Sites to Empower Effective Teaching. In these sites, system, board, and union leaders committed to redesign how they develop, evaluate, recognize, and retain effective teachers as a foundation for improving teaching and learning. Now those efforts are bringing critical questions of school leadership to the fore, driving changes in expectations for principals and for how school systems organize to support principals and other instructional leaders.
The authors connect current cognitive research with the challenges of educational leadership, outline four leadership styles, and demonstrate how to capitalize on your strengths. This book is written as a resource for those who accept the challenge and opportunity to fine-tune their leadership style. School leaders, principals, assistant principals, curriculum coordinators, and teacher leaders alike will learn, benefit, and grow. Cognitive knowledge of brain function, paired with new insights of strengths based leadership in schools, will help school leaders develop strategies that will enhance student learning in an environment that maximizes student and faculty potential.
