Description

Take your leadership style to a whole new level!

"Very powerful and user-friendly. If this book is carefully and intentionally implemented in schools, student performance will improve and principals and teachers can help eliminate achievement gaps."
-Steve Hutton, Educational Consultant
Villa Hills, KY

Even the best principals and teachers need additional inspiration and energy to motivate students and even themselves. This inspiring handbook guides principals and teachers in upgrading their performance in the classroom and schoolwide. Using evidence-based strategies, John Parks Le Tellier provides a catalog of practiced "moves" to help create an empowering classroom climate, reinforce content, and increase or sustain motivation.

Le Tellier offers four connections to becoming a highly effective leader. The Context Connection creates the "moves" to establish empowering classroom context; the Cognitive Connection updates educators on the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience; the Character Connection establishes character education's importance to leadership practice; and the Classroom Connection develops strategies for accelerating learning, strengthening classroom management, and upgrading energy. Each chapter includes Leadership Notes that show you how specific moves can be used for Leadership initiatives. Learn to:

  • Improve teaching effectiveness
  • Improve student motivation
  • Strengthen student character
  • Implement and support leadership in the classroom
  • Renew teachers' energy and passion for their profession

Recent Product Reviews:

"Partly a recitation of teacher and leadership strategies, partly a collection of motivational activity how-tos for teachers and principals, and partly a review of current brain research applied to learning."
PsycCRITIQUES, October 2007, Vol. 52(40)
"This book is the quintessential school improvement manual. The information is very powerful and user-friendly. If the information in this book is carefully and intentionally implemented in schools, student achievement will increase and principals and teachers can help eliminate achievement gaps."
Steve Hutton, Educational Consultant
"With the more recent emphasis on brain research and how it can be applied realistically in the classroom, this author provides very specific and clear 'moves' as well as very useful tools. A most definite contribution to the field of education."
Kenneth Killian, Assistant Professor, School of Education, Vanguard University of Southern California
