undefined

Review ------ “Repositioning Educational Leadership: Practitioners Leading from An Inquiry Stance is a timely addition to the leadership literature. It introduces a welcome disruption by constructively challenging the positionality of the leader. Through accounts of different leadership roles, the book builds a solid case for how inquiry fits into varied leadership functions.” ―Teachers College Record “Strong leadership is the linchpin to a successful school district. To excel at any profession or vocation, the learning process, especially for leadership positions, should never stop. This book unpacks a smorbord of real-life work situations that will allow the reader to reflect on these experiences and extract the best practices of leadership. Any superintendent, district administrator, or building leader will find these narratives useful because they invite you to become, as explained in the book, ‘leaders of learning.’” ―Daniel A. Domenech, executive director, American Association of School Administrators (AASA) “To meet the learning needs of every child and close rtunity gaps, schools and school systems must be able to continuously learn and improve. Leaders need to see themselves as the lead learners, and the practitioner-authors in this book provide invaluable ins into what this complex work of leading from an inquiry stance looks like in different contexts.” ―Irma Zardoya, president & CEO, NYC Leadership Academy “This book is a key contribution to the reinvention of the field of educational leadership, and it is crucial for preparing future leaders.” ―Michael A.
