Product Description
Literacy educators seldom view themselves as leaders beyond the classroom. In recent years, however, teacher leadership has received increased attention in schools and school districts and at the state and national levels. This book will guide you in improving your literacy leadership skills so you can ultimately enhance your professional practice. Author Donald McAndrew first reviews the major theory and research on leadership while focusing on leadership in schools and literacy education to familiarize you with the specific theory, research, and practice of leaders. He then presents six strategies used by successful leaders to do the peoplework at the heart of leadership: 1. Create and communicate a vision. 2. Be a model. 3. Experiment with new ideas and take risks. 4. Nurture competence, trust, and collaboration. 5. Encourage the heart. 6. Transform yourself through reflection and learning. You will learn the importance of each strategy, its connection to theory and research, and additional methods for putting each strategy to work. More important, you will be able to use these strategies to improve your peoplework skills as you interact with students, parents, and colleagues to promote the importance of literacy development. Use this book to become a literacy leader and improve the vision of literacy in your classroom, school, and community.

Strange book July 12, 2007
C. Wachowiak (Waukegan, IL United States)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I had to get this book for my reading masters class and this book was very strange. It's as if the author was on an extreme caffeine high when he wrote it. He uses weird phrases. It's very easy to read and does get the point across, however it seems like he's talking down to the reader. In my class though we did think this might be a good book for administators or business people to read as they usually forget about what it was like when they weren't in those positions.
