This book uncovers an often overlooked truth—effective change is the product of hard work and dedication. Dynamic schools result from consistent and redundant focus on the fundamental core elements affecting teachers and students. What sets this book apart is its focus on how schools leaders do business, instead of on what these leaders should do.
