Leverage Leadership: A Practical Guide to Building Exceptional Schools

By Paul Bambrick-Santoyo

 

In Leverage Leadership Bambrick-Santoyo meticulously shows the steps that great school leaders take to promote effective teaching and transform lackluster or even good schools into great schools. The book’s companion DVD includes 30 video clips of top-tier leaders in action, offering a path for any leader that wants to replicate the results garnered by schools in Leverage Leadership.  The author deconstructs the myths behind the work of the modern-day principal and offers concrete guidelines for a new paradigm in school leadership. After years of running his own high-performing schools and studying the habits of other successful school leaders, Bambrick-Santoyo has settled on seven crucial levers that great principals employ that ensure schools produce the best results. Leverage Leadership also includes a chapter by Brett Peiser, Uncommon Schools’ former Managing Director of New York City and new CEO, who has worked extensively to learn how to assess and build staff culture, one of the seven levers.
