Book description
Paul Bambrick-Santoyo (Managing Director of Uncommon Schools) shows
leaders how they can raise their schools to greatness by following a
core set of principles. These seven principles, or "levers,"
allow for consistent, transformational, and replicable growth. With
intentional focus on these areas, leaders will leverage much more
learning from the same amount of time investment. Fundamentally, each
of these seven levers answers the core questions of school leadership:
What should an effective leader do, and how and when should they do it.
Aimed at all levels of school leadership, the book is for any
principal, superintendent, or educator who wants to be a
transformational leader. The book includes 30 video clips of top-tier
leaders in action. These videos bring great schools to you, and
support a deeper understanding of both the components of success and
how it looks as a whole. There are also many helpful rubrics,
extensive professional development tools, calendars, and templates.
