Connecting Leadership With Learning: A Framework for Reflection, Planning, and Action


Written by Michael A. Copland and Michael S. Knapp (assistant professor and professor, respectively, of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, at the Univ. of Washington), Connecting Leadership with Learning: A Framework for Reflection, Planning, and Action is a guide especially for school leaders to help teachers increase their own knowledge, improve the instructional environment of schools, and ensure learning among all students. Chapters discuss how to establish a focus on equitable learning, the value of building professional communities, organizational skills for acting strategically and delegating leadership, advice for creating a unified leadership vision, and much more. Numerous charts condense the main bullet points of the text into at-a-glance summaries that can be quickly absorbed and put in practice. Describing 23 different leadership "pathways" that have been put into practice, and drawing upon numerous real-life examples of the Leading for Learning Framework in action, Connecting Leadership with Learning is a solid guide enthusiastically recommended for educators everywhere. http://www.amazon.com/Connecting-Leadership-Learning-Framework-Reflection/dp/1416604049/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235312846&sr=1-1
