A perspective for those involved in public education
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Linda Lambert's book is clearly written by someone with a great deal of experience in the schools as a teacher and a leader. All too often those who do not work in the schools are eager to offer solutions that are impossible to implement with limited resources. It makes great reading, but that is as far as it goes. The truth is that the attitudes and skills of teachers, administrators and Board members are critical. If the Board of Education can speak with one voice, instead of encouraging individual Board members to wander about making statement that do not reflect the sentiment of the entire Board, and offer clear guidance and support for the staff, leadership can be nutured. In Building Leadership Capacity in Schools Linda Lamberts demonstrates her thorough understanding of these dynamics. It's an important primer for building leadership in the public schools. I hope it is widely available to educators.
