Recenzii
"In Leverage, the author Thomas Many crafts a coherent and compelling argument for doing less and going deeper in support of school reform. A thoughtful sense of the literature informs approaches that we all need help with – how to integrate and align our efforts in supporting student success and how to do that in sustainable ways"
"It seems like with each passing year the expectations and requirements of a principal become greater and greater. If you are wondering which items should be at the top of your priority list read this book, after which you will truly know what is important and how to implement sustainable change in your school that will result in better student achievement."
