New insights into creating willing and motivated teachers—from the teachers' point of view!
Joseph and Jo Blase provide a unique opportunity for principals to learn what really works in empowering teachers to be their best. Based on interviews with over 800 teachers who describe in detail what their principals do on a daily basis to influence and empower them, the authors show the transformative effects principals can have on teachers' work both in the classroom and in the wider school setting. And now, an expanded and updated edition makes this critically acclaimed book more valuable than ever.
In this considerably expanded second edition, the Blases have added—
Learn what successful principals do—
The authors present descriptions of what successful principals do—from teachers' actual experiences—that leads to such impacts as improved self-esteem, confidence, commitment, innovation, autonomy, and reflection. Relevant concepts, models, and strategies from the literature help practitioners think through their approach to implementing shared governance.
For both the practicing and prospective principal who want to construct meaningful ways of working with teachers—this book offers critical reflection about leadership using a relevant knowledge base—the teachers themselves.
