From at Risk to Academic Excellence: What Successful Leaders Do

From at Risk to Academic Excellence: What Successful Leaders Do Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Schargel, a veteran teacher and school administrator, surveyed school principals and other educational leaders across the country whose schools have been categorized as high performing, high minority, and high poverty. Here, he brings together the wisdom of those leaders to reveal attitudes and practices that make the difference between at-risk and excellence. He defines who is at risk and why, then delves into student learning and achievement, school improvement, staff empowerment, parent and family involvement, and school and community collaboration. The author has written five books on school transformation, and works as a trainer for educational, community, and business groups. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
