This book was fabulous. This collection of essays really helped my understanding of Self-Determination Theory through a large number of explanations, references to, and summaries of a variety of studies. It provided an excellent combination of theory and practice, and I think school leaders would be wise to read through it slowly.
One negative of this book is that it doesn't look into the tremendous potential of SDT outside of conventional school environments (e.g., alternative schooling, Self-Directed Education), although multiple essays suggest that schooling practices inhibit more effective implementation of SDT aligned practices. Another negative of the book is there are a lot of typos, but the collective content of the essays easily trumps that minor concern.
