Beskrivning

Leading with Vitality and Hope provides a practical resource for educators who want to move beyond the challenges schools are facing today. It both provides inspirational ideas from an impressive group of educational leaders and also practical ideas that you can take back to your local schools and communities for implementation. What is needed to move beyond the chaotic scenes we are continuing to face as schools reopen for in-person learning? The voices we hear from in Leading with Vitality and Hope suggest that we must first re-introduce a sense of vitality and hope. This can be done with mindfulness, visioning, and strategic leadership that attends to self-care, advocacy, and collective efficacy. Each of these themes is woven throughout case study scenarios presented by 20 leaders as they describe their vision, how they garnered support, and how their visions have set the stage for transformational change to enhance equity, reduce discrimination, alleviate trauma, and lead to greater well-being for students and staff in schools.

Recensioner i media

At its core, this book accepts as truth that education must meet the demands of our youth for a more equitable, sustainable, and community-nurturing existence. Nothing short of our survival depends on educating children in this way. Despite what a vocal minority have screamed for us all to believe, educators are - and must be - sensitive, visionary, and creative to approach the daily task of teaching children. This is a book for now. Education practitioners and leaders will find practical and deep value from the examples, exercises, and motivations of this work.
