(Ernest L. Boyer, president, The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching) Feature This book provides educators with a leadership model that is based on what schools are like, what they are trying to do, and who they serve. This unique brand of leadership is more community-like, more democratic, and more responsive both to what we know about human nature and what we know about how students learn and develop. It replaces the politics of division--which emphasizes contracts and deals, and winning and losing--with the politics of virtue which emphasize a shared commitment to the common good. Drawing on ideas and real-life examples from a variety of real schools, Leadership for the Schoolhouse provides a compelling picture of schooling and leadership at their best.
