The Brain and Strengths Based School Leadership

The authors connect current cognitive research with the challenges of educational leadership, outline four leadership styles, and demonstrate how to capitalize on your strengths.

ynamic leadership impacts every facet of a school; it's the propelling force behind
curriculum and instruction, the supervision of teachers, and the education of
students. In fact, the proactive, informed, and energetic leader determines the
quality of teaching and the level of student learning in the building (Schiff, 2002).
Inspiring! Traversing this ever meaningful and yet complicated road of leadership
is made easier with knowledge of the brain and a strengths based leadership
stance.
