"School
leadership
is
a
challenge
that
is
made
more
difficult
through
isolation,
but
it
doesn’t
have
to
be
that
way.
In
this
book,
the
authors
lead
you
to
reflect
on
what
isolates
you
and
share
practical
ways
to
help
get
connected
to
other
school
leaders.
This
is
a
must
read
for
the
connected
and
soon
to
be
connected
leaders!"
"Being a school leader can lead to incredible, life changing moments for kids, but it is also filled with a healthy dose of loneliness and isolation. Spike Cook, Jessica Johnson, and Theresa Stager do an excellent job in this book unearthing this reality and providing real, practical solutions for today's school leader. They lay out an excellent roadmap on how today's leaders can build connections across communities so that their teachers and students can excel."
"Finally, a book that names the classic problem of isolation for educational leaders: once you become the head of your own school or organization, it's as if other schools cease to exist! Filled with real-time examples and reflection questions from three dynamic, active principals who've crafted their own connected and growing practices, this book will be a resource and a comforting guide for anyone seeking to establish a personal or professional learning network, and lays a Twitter-connected path to the next steps of leadership development."
"Cook, Johnson, and Stager hit the nail on the head as they identify isolation as a major obstacle to the success of school leaders. Principals do not thrive by doing it on their own, and the authors present a readable guide on how to get and stay connected by building a professional learning network. Helpful vignettes from other educators and the authors’ own experiences add nuance to the book’s treatment of both the opportunities and challenges of connectedness. Particularly insightful is the discussion of how becoming connected outside of one’s school and district can paradoxically contribute to short-term feelings of isolation. For readers who know they need to reach out to others to become better leaders, but are not quite sure how to do so, this useful book provides encouragement and a useful road map. Reflection and action sections at the end of each chapter also provide practical steps any reader can take towards becoming a connected school leader."
"To connect, or not to connect, that is the question - or is it? Spike, Jessica, and Theresa have provided school leaders at all levels of connectivity with a toolbox of resources and professionals to begin their digital journey. As a novice in the social media world, I am empowered to begin expanding my Professional Learning Network (PLN) by utilizing and following the steps and experts they have suggested."
"Linchpin educational leaders Spike, Jessica, and Theresa epitomize growth mindsets as they share how they use social media every day to build linkages across their own school communities and within global professional learning networks. In Breaking Out of Isolation this writing team brings alive stories of connected educators who amplify their own mindful learning, power up resource sharing across networks, and support each other. If you want to learn how social media can make a difference in your own work as an educator or are looking to influence others,Breaking Out of Isolationwill be a valuable resource."
"As a building administrator, this is an absolute must read. This book should be a go-to-guide for leaders for years to come. Spike, Jessica and Theresa understand the complexity of leadership and share several tips, strategies and thoughts to help leaders gain confidence and increase success. Simply put it is time to grab a paddle (or this book) and get off of the island."

ever-growing

sitting,
which
makes
the
collection
ideal
for
book
studies
and
professional
development,
both
during
the
summer
and
throughout
the
school
year.
Also,
each
paperback
is
authored
by
one
or
two
educators
who
speak
(and
blog,
tweet,
etc.)
with
a
credible
voice
in
the
world
of
connected
education.
Some
of
the
topics
include:
- Flipped
leadership
- Tools
for
connecting
educators,
parents,
and
communities
- Blogging
for
educators
- Best
practices
for
establishing
a
makerspace
- Tools to connect and empower teachers
