Educational Leadership

Loving the first two readings for my graduate classes!  Both texts highlight weak spots in the discussion on how to improve schools in the United States.  The first example here gives insight to acknowledging and maintaining the politics of schools and the second develops understanding of human beings as capital within a system and provides real-world suggestions on how make improvements based on these reasonable assumptions, instead of using a business model of capital.

I've enjoyed both of these texts and if you are serious about improving your school district, would recommend these reads!

          

They also reference some of my favorite authors, one being Daniel Pink, a psychology and business guru on motivation in business.  See his TED talk below for a quick overview of his book Drive.
