The School Leadership Triangle: From Compliance to Innovation de Paul L. Kimmelman

The School Leadership Triangle: From Compliance to Innovation

Autor Paul L. Kimmelman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 iun 2010
Paul Kimmelman captures a unique vision for school improvement that is based on the intersection of federal policy compliance, effective leadership, and innovation. While educational leaders must be responsive to federal policy mandates, compliance with federal policy alone won't guarantee school improvement. In Kimmelman's view, effective leadership and innovation are essential ingredients for meaningful systemic improvement.
The School Leadership Triangle: From Compliance to Innovation provides leadership teams with a solid foundation for discussing the key issues that can lead to substantive improvements in their schools and districts while addressing the challenges of federal laws.

Recenzii

"Paul Kimmelman's book is full of interesting thoughts on how to generate successful educational innovations in a policy environment that demands accountability. His blend of on-the-ground experience as a teacher and school administrator, coupled with his understanding of change practices in business, has led to many fresh insights."
"Finally we have a book that encourages educators to take charge of the situation and shape the future of public education. This book provides a rare and insightful analysis of the ideas and concerns of national leaders who have shaped legislation. Kimmelman’s work encourages individuals to embrace a new form of leadership and redesign schools that reflect the economic and social realities of the present and future. America was established under the precepts of innovation, and Kimmelman challenges our schools to embrace change."
