Ten Traits of Resilience: Achieving Positivity and Purpose in School Leadership

Autor James Hilton Cuvânt înainte de Dr Andy Cope
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 oct 2018
In an increasingly complex and ever-changing education landscape, school leadership is a rewarding but multifaceted profession. In order to survive in the job long term, school leaders need to understand how they can lead with positivity and purpose, all the while avoiding stress, coping with adversity, and taking better care of themselves physically and mentally. With teacher wellbeing and retention a growing concern, it is essential school leaders pass on this confidence and optimism to their staff members too. In this thought-provoking book, James Hilton explores ten traits of resilience and demonstrates to school leaders how they can embed these traits into their own practice and into their school to create a climate of resilience in every classroom. Ten Traits of Resilience is packed with practical advice, tips and reflective questions to help school leaders evaluate and improve their current practice, and threaded throughout are also perspectives from a number of education experts, including Ross Morrison McGill, Patrick Ottley-O'Connor, Viv Grant and Kim Johnson.With a foreword by happiness expert, Dr Andy Cope, this book is ideal for all school leaders and aspiring school leaders looking to promote and maintain a culture of resilience in their schools, in order to improve their own mental health and wellbeing, and that of their staff and pupils too.

Recenzii

James Hilton's new book builds on the success of his first, Leading from the Edge. It is personal, personable, conversational, practical and easy to read. With lots of good advice and some great questions, it is well worth a read.
Increasingly, schools are incorporating wellbeing into their values and if you are a leader at a school on that journey (as I know many are), this book is the perfect read for you.
This book is a remarkable gem. The ideas are simple but not easy. It deserves to be read widely and often.
The huge power in this book comes from the fact that it does not just offer advice but it also makes you work and think around the ideas offered through practical activities and tasks. If you want to stay in leadership and get the most from the best job in the world, read this book.
Dip in when a particular problem arises, or read the book cover to cover to build up a background of useful knowledge. The friendly and supportive approach makes this an excellent resource for the staffroom library and for training sessions.
Where does the book fit within the canon of educational advice and positioning? Unusually, I found Hilton has not done anything particularly original, but that's the brilliance of this book. It is familiar and reassuring yet challenging at the same moment... It doesn't tell us that there are dragons, but lets us know that dragons can be defeated. Or, to use Hilton's metaphor, if your resilience balloons feel deflated, read this book to reinflate them and find a way forward this term.
One of the strengths of the book is its wide-ranging nature. While it is ostensibly about resilience, it also covers the range of tasks and challenges a school leader faces: there's practical advice on preparing for Ofsted, thoughts on managing the wellbeing of staff and a discussion of school mission statements.
