Autor Linda Rae Markert
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 aug 2020
InYou Can’t Make This Up! the author invites both emerging educational leaders and practicing school administrators to read a series of short stories recounted by principals and vice principals employed in schools across the United States, in Germany and Cyprus. This collection of present-day stories highlights the types of challenges school leaders encounter on a daily basis, all of which demand informed decisions, but none of which are easily resolved.

Each story is presented in a case study format, and aligned with selected elements within one of the ten Professional Standards for Educational Leadership (PSEL). At a critical juncture in each case, a series of “questions to ponder” is presented, followed by a segment describing “what actually occurred?”

Recenzii

Advance Praise

"Professor Markert has created an outstanding collection of real-life professional experiences that can serve as actual simulations for both prospective and current school administrators. Such diversified, descriptive testimonials shared by school leaders gives resonance to the challenges and variety of leadership skills needed in today's educational environments. Just to have the chance to view a multitude of dilemmas touching so many different competencies is an excellent leadership training tool that truly encompasses reflective practice."

Cheryl A. McElhany, President
Extended Day Child Care Center, Dublin, CA

"The case studies in this well-written book provide the perfect foundation for fruitful consideration of complex situations that face building leaders every day. It is one thing to be able to name the standards of professional leadership but quite another to be able to apply them from day to day. These case studies will inspire deep and authentic discussions about what did and what could have happened in each case presented. Emerging leaders will find this book a valuable resource for preparing themselves to respond to challenging situations. Current leaders will want to use the case studies as a way to explore with colleagues situations similar to those they have faced, thinking about what they did right and what they might want to change in their future responses."

Susan Coultrap-McQuin, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus & Former Provost
State University of New York at Oswego

"In my years as an education attorney, many school leaders have stated they eventually wanted to write a book about their many you can't make this up experiences, and now Linda Rae Markert has done it! These multinational tales from the field provoke informed inquiry, critical analysis, and self-assessment, all in the format of a really good read."

Donald E. Budmen, ESQ. Education Law Attorney
Ferrara Fiorenza PC, East Syracuse, NY

"Gather a group of school principals together and you will hear a common refrain; you can't make this up! Ethical decision making, crucial conversations, and dealing with challenging situations are simply part of the job. Where this book really shines is in Markert's deft storytelling and thought-provoking questions to ponder. Veteran and novice school leaders alike will see their own experiences come alive in the cases making self-reflection possible. Readers will gain new perspectives as they lead in these unique times."
