Transforming Professional Practice: A Framework for Effective Leadership, 2nd Edition

by Kimberly T. Strike, Paul A. Sims, Susan L. Mann

Educational accountability for excellence begins with educational leaders. In the past decade states have adopted revised requirements for school and district leaders in K-12 public schools with reliance on national standards like ELCC and ISLLC leadership standards. The development of Common Core State Standards (CCSS), No Child Left Behind (NCLB), and Race to the Top have also had profound changes on school curriculum, instruction, assessment and district leadership, evaluation, and accountability.

While there are many and varying leadership books on the market, few to none outline an effective framework of educational leadership domains needed to address the current needs of administrator evaluation, self-reflection, and personal growth.

Probably one of the more difficult reads I have done in a while. While I can see some value in the NELP Standards and their application as outlined in this book, it is dry and honestly better at putting me to sleep than keeping me engaged.
