Standards-Based Leadership cover

Today’s school principals are charged with the responsibility of creating learning organizations that emphasize success for all students. Framing decisions in standards that are grounded in research and best practice, this book provides a structure for learning and growth for both current and aspiring principals. Each chapter in Standards-Based Leadership: A Case Study Book for the Principalship is organized around a Texas Principal Competency Exam and related to the 2014 Texas Principal Standards and 2011 ELCC standards. The cases provided for discussion are all based on real problems that challenge principals in Texas or any other state. By applying the standards and using the brief literature reviews as resources to guide decision making, principals are provided with a framework for implementation of specific strategies that will best help them successfully lead schools.

The authors of Standards-Based Leadership provide insight, benchmarks, simulations, and ways of thinking and knowing about administering schools. Anyone interested in understanding the complexity of leadership in schools can use this book to develop a deeper understanding about leadership and schooling. -- James E. Berry Ed.D, executive director, National Council of Professors of Educational Administration and professor of educational leadership, Eastern Michigan University
The authors effective blending of multiple leadership standards with supporting research to create a series of relevant case studies to facilitate discussion, reflection, and learning is refreshing.   The case studies are timely, challenging, and provide excellent opportunities for individuals and groups to gain the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to advance their practice. -- Richard A. Flanary, former deputy executive director of programs & services, National Association of Secondary School Principals, president, Flanary Educational Consulting
