Recenzii

"This volume is filled with useful information for those who already are leaders in English language education as well as those preparing to be leaders. A key concept presented in this book is that all teachers/educators are leaders when they have a positive influence on others as they do their job, whether it be peer mentoring, curriculum development, program redesign, or helping to improve the school environment. I hope we'll see a lot more attention to leadership training in our field as a result of this important new book."
Sharon Seymour, ESL Educator; CATESOL Past President
"This book is a metaphor for the authors themselves: thorough, detailed, committed to professional development as a tool for excellence in outcomes. It reflects their long-standing commitment to sound scholarship and their recognition in the field as teachers/scholars."
Michele Sabino, University of Houston-Downtown
"As an individual in a position of leadership within the field of English language teaching in U.S. higher education, I was very stimulated by many of the ideas on leadership, management, and administration."
James Valentine, Director, American Language Institute, University of Southern California
