Synopsis

Excellent leadership matters

Without excellent leadership, school improvement is impossible, or at least impossible to sustain. But what are the characteristics of an excellent leader? Is general leadership experience and knowledge enough? And how do you practically grow and develop leadership in yourself and others so you can all have a bigger impact on student outcomes?

This integrated, holistic resource explores the virtues that are integral to achieving excellence in educational leadership, while offering practical guidance on how to do the right work in the right way―no matter what challenges you face or student inequities you’re trying to overcome. Features include:

• Practical, research-based applications of virtue theory
• Examples of school leaders’ thinking and actions
• In-depth yet accessible theoretical analysis
• Detailed analysis showing theoretical concepts in practice
• Summaries and reflection questions

The success of your students and teachers is directly linked to your influence, your knowledge and ideas, your personal character, and your ability to focus on the proper purposes of education.
