Recenzii
"At a time when busy educational leaders must make every minute count, this book is refreshing in its clarity, efficient organization, and commonsense approach! For those aspiring to the higher levels of leadership in an increasingly complex profession, Wilmore’s approach is direct, specific, and attentive to the details that matter and to the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that make a successful school administrator."
"Wilmore has a gift for cutting through what seems confusing to prospective and practicing administrators. Her approach to education administration provides clarity in my day-to-day challenge to make a positive impact on the teachers and students I work with as a school administrator. Read this book."
"Wilmore has hit another homerun! I read Wilmore’s Passing the Principal TExES Exam and found it not only very beneficial in passing the exam, but also very practical and easy to read. Her new book, Passing the Superintendent TExES Exam, is another great resource to help all future administrators not only pass the test, but also fully understand the domains and competencies set forth by SBEC. Wilmore's knowledge, wisdom, and enthusiasm are all evident in this outstanding book that is a must-read for all those interested in passing the exam and entering the wonderful career of school administration."
