JOSSEY-BASS Leverage Leadership 2.0: A Practical Guide to Building Exceptional Schools

This book is just as helpful as the reviews claim. Would encourage any educational leader to read!

My senior leadership team at school love this book. We’ve based our improvements around it and the impact is amazing.

Enhance your skills has in leadership good purchase,

Great read for educational leaders that would be invaluable if you are contemplating going up the ladder in your school. Well written and as a school leader myself I also found some useful pieces in this. 10/10

This book complements the author's other book 'Driven by Data 2.0', which puts learning ahead of teaching with a focus on ensuring learning is happening when teachers are teaching. This book takes the next step and says that the SLT must enable the teaching that facilitates such learning. The books are both American and as such need to be adapted to the British system but this is possible and there is a lot of very useful information. I am a supply TA and really these books are aimed at teachers and particularly the SLT, but I am considering going into teacher training and want to read up on the subject. There is a lot of useful information that I can use in my capacity as a TA and I do think that it will be a useful reference book for when I do my teacher training. I think that this will be good preparation for me.
