Recenzii
"I have never seen or heard of an excellent school that did not have an excellent principal. In this important new book McLaughlin helps us to understand what it takes to become a genuine expert as a school leader by closely examining how they navigate the challenges involved in leading schools during these turbulent times. For policymakers, district leaders, parents and others who want to see more progress in the effort to improve our nation's schools, this book will be an invaluable resource."
"This book is a rare blend of practice and solid academic work. Dionne McLaughlin’s writing shows that she 'talks the talk because she has walked the walk.' As a former elementary and secondary school site administrator. She navigates some of the most difficult and dangerous waters in school site decision making today. In the process of unpacking the nature of difficult decisions, she has not only created powerful exemplars that others can follow, but has erected models that will serve as fount of motivation and inspiration."

“Agile and inspiring principals remain key to lifting America's schools, to accelerate our progress in narrowing disparities in student learning.

Insights is a must read for future school leaders, policy makers, and reformers.”
