The School Leadership Survival Guide: What to Do When Things Go Wrong, How to Learn from Mistakes, and Why You Should Prepare for the Worst, Amanda Heffernan, Jeffrey S. Brooks
Описание: The School Leadership Survival Guide: What to Do When Things Go Wrong, How to Learn from Mistakes, and Why You Should Prepare for the Worst is intended as an uncommon guide for school leaders and a resource they can turn to when confronted with issues they might not normally face in typical practice. The book serves as a bridge between research and day-to-day school leadership, and is intended to help leaders and school communities improve in areas they routinely avoid. In this sense, the book is meant as a “go to” resource for principals, those who train and teach them, and scholars. Although authors recognize the complexity of issues raised in the book, each chapter has a “How to” “What to do” or “Why You Should” ethos in order to give the book a unifying structure and help provide a practical translation of research and theory into practice.
Some of the issues addressed include:
How to elevate student voice;
How to navigate religious conflict in the school and community;
How to improve support for LGBTIQ students;
Why You Should develop a natural disaster plan;
How to work against racism in the school and community;
How to practice inclusion in the school;
How to make a vision and mission come to life;
How to manage relationships with difficult people;
What to do when there is racial tension in the community;
How to learn the history of your school and community—and why that matters;
Do you want to develop skills of a leader or just manage your team better?
Do you believe that learning the skills of the best leaders in history can help you in everyday life?
Do you want to learn the things that school never taught you, so you can enjoy success and happiness?
Education and skills development are two of the most important things in life. With a good basic one we can learn much of the fundamentals, like reading and writing.
But there are many things that school doesn't teach us and some of them are valuable and essential skills.
This book, LEADERSHIP Take Control of your life and Learn what the School Doesn't Teach you, sets out to fill the gaps that a traditional education leaves, helping you to understand more about things like:
The art of Sell
Facing the failures in life that will always come
Time Management Skills
How to properly invest money
Starting your own business
Why traveling is so important
Communication skills
Emotional intelligence
And more...
There is no question that schools teach us a lot, but we need something more when it comes to the practicalities of life. This is mostly taught or learned by parents, but not everyone is fortunate enough to get the kind of advice that is good and can support them.
This is where "LEADERSHIP, Take Control of your life and Learn what the School Doesn't Teach you" in the missing pieces and will set you on the road to success, with practical and useful advice that will last a lifetime.
Описание: It can be difficult to think clearly and deeply when a decision must be made, especially for principals and other administrators barraged with information, questions, and demands on their time. When even the smallest mistake can negatively affect students and staff, strong decision-making skills are crucial. By focusing on key questions, however, school leaders can find a path through the complex decisions they encounter every day.
What If I'm Wrong? and Other Key Questions for Decisive School Leadership guides you past the pitfalls of split-second instinct, groupthink, prejudice, and the rush to judgment. Leadership coach and former principal Simon Rodberg pulls together true stories from his own experience, examples of a range of school issues, and the latest research in cognitive science into a five-question framework for school leaders to ask themselves when facing a decision:
What am I missing?
What's one small step?
Where's the trade-off?
Does it have to be this way?
What if I'm wrong?
By prompting you to reflect on your own thought processes and cognitive blind spots, Rodberg's approach helps you build good habits of strategic decision making. Learn to navigate both tough dilemmas and everyday challenges as a decisive school leader.
Do you want to develop skills of a leader or just manage your team better?
