Revue de presse

In one relatively small volume, the authors have organized information on just about everything a school leader needs to get a well-designed program off the ground and to make sure it will get better as time goes on. A particular strength of the book is its effectiveness in defining the years of preschool through third grade as a cohesive unit within the school. This is especially evident in the extensive chapter on assessment. The book will have value for both current practitioners and those preparing to become elementary administrators."" -- Harriet A. Egertson, Early Childhood Consultant 20080819 ""Kostelnik and Grady have created the ultimate 'how to hit the ground running' playbook for principals as they welcome the families, children, and staff of early learning into their schools. Every chapter contains essential roles that principals need to play to ensure success for their entire school community."" -- Ginger L. Zierdt, Director, Center for School-University Partnerships 20081201 ""This book is a tremendous resource for principals. As a former elementary principal, I wish I could have had this book in my hands then to help me better understand and support the preschool classrooms in my building! This book will help principals better understand the components of learning through play, intentional design of classroom environments to foster learning, and the value of partnering with families."" --Lisa St. Clair, Nebraska PIRC Director and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics 20081201
