Today’s educational leaders are working with more resources, more research, and more stakeholders – all within the same, limited time in a day as we had a decade ago. Author Jessica M. Cabeen takes readers through an intentional journey of current trends and buzzwords, helping leaders understand how social media is a tool for connection, collaboration, and learning. This exciting book explores the importance of care and collaboration with all members of the educational community – students, teachers, staff, families, and community partners. Each chapter highlights examples of leaders that have made positive change in their schools, and provides key actionable strategies that can be implemented at a pace that is sustainable and tailored to fit your needs. You will discover a deeper understanding of the critical importance of your role in:
- Elevating the student’s experience
- Building a strong school culture
- Creating small ways to make big impacts with families
- Advocating a clear message with community partners and legislative leaders
- Creating time for self-care
Filled with practical examples, tools, and strategies, Unconventional Leadership is a resource school leaders can pick up today and implement tomorrow.

"Any book that summarizes leadership into actionable steps is worth a read. Unconventional Leadership is one of these and its ideas should be embraced as essential to making a significant difference in the culture of our schools and districts. As leaders, we must grow and learn collaboratively with our colleagues. This starts by engaging in actions that demonstrate and value others. Such lessons are shared within these pages."
—Deborah Delisle, president and chief executive officer (CEO) The Alliance for Excellent Education (All4Ed), Former U.S. Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education
"Cabeen offers thoughts and strategies for making the often-times cerebral and lonely job of leadership into one that is personal and invigorating. [...]In addition to following educational thinkers and practitioners, Cabeen encourages us to participate and share our own insights, stories, and thoughts"
