School Leadership from A to Z: How to Lead Well without Losing Your Way

Description

School leadership is hard, and it’s hard on school leaders.

More and more school leaders are struggling with the ever-expanding expectations and associated stressors of the role. As a result, legions of leaders are limping into work every day—or worse, walking away altogether.

In The ABCs of School Leadership, Bradley James Davies hopes to turn the tide and bring some joy back to the principal’s office. Through a series of alphabetized essays, Davies draws on his two decades of serving elementary, middle, and high schools as a teacher, coach, and administrator to bring you the best practices, most effective approaches, and most tried-and-true tricks of the trade. Via stories of his struggles and successes, Davies’ refreshingly funny insights offer a way forward toward a place where both leading and living well need not be as rare as a copy machine that never breaks down.

The ABCs of School Leadership is a must-read insider’s peek behind the curtain of the good, bad, and ugly of school leadership. Part how-to, part memoir, this humble and humorous guide will help school leaders in every stage of their careers.
