Creating the Conditions: Leadership for Quality Schools

A must for educators who want to move their school in a new direction!

From this proceeds a discussion of the most powerful leadership tools: creating vision, resolving conflicts, and reaching consensus. Includes valuable hints on how to improve your curriculum.
