Student-Centered Leadership / JB Leadership Library in Education (ePub)

Student-Centered Leadership offers a timely and thoughtful
resource for school leaders who want to turn their ideals into
action. Written by educational leadership expert Viviane Robinson,
the book shows leaders how they can make a bigger difference to the
quality of teaching and learning in their school and ultimately
improve their students' performance.

This book is based not on fad or fashion but on the best
available evidence about the impact of different types of
leadership on student outcomes. The book includes examples of five
types of leadership practice as well as rich accounts of the
knowledge and skills that leaders need to employ them with
confidence.

Filled with practical lessons, clear information, and much
inspiration, Robinson encourages leaders to experiment with
changing how they lead so they can transform their schools for the
better.

Student-Centered Leadership is part of the Jossey-Bass
Leadership Library in Education series.
