Description: | This learning-oriented model of school leadership details four Pillar Practices for helping adults grow throughout their careers: teaming, providing leadership roles, collegial inquiry, and mentoring. "Eleanor Drago-Severson takes hold of an important and neglected truth: students grow best in schools where the adults around them are growing, too. In this nurturing and much-anticipated work, the author shows us exactly how to make this happen. Sound theory, vivid examples, and, best of all, a practice-ready framework—it''s all here! Anyone who cares about making our schools better will feel richly rewarded for spending time with this encouraging book." "With this comprehensive and compelling book, Eleanor Drago-Severson establishes herself as a leading authority on authoritative leadership in education." Support the growth and development of all adults—teachers, principals, and superintendents—in your school community! Educators at every level go through different stages of development over the course of their lives and need different kinds of supports and challenges to grow. Leading Adult Learning introduces a model of adult development that helps school and district leaders consciously cultivate teacher, principal, and superintendent capacities in the educational workplace.
Drago-Severson makes a compelling case for deliberately supporting adult development within and across school systems to enhance adults'' capacities, school improvement, and student achievement. |
