Purchased this book for a class and although the reading material is very thorough, the referenced materials that come on the CD are pretty inaccessible to the general population. Who owns a CD-ROM anymore? I only had the ability to get the materials because I had to take my work computer home during Covid 19 and I luckily packed the antiquated external CD-ROM just to make sure it didn’t grow legs and could not be found upon my return. The templates included on the CD could easily be stored on a website’s survey and require a key found in the purchased book to each student to access. This publisher needs to get with the times and digitize the resources.
I love the book and its contents: the information is immediately applicable and relevant. My only gripe is that I cannot download the DVD .zip file from the website. I have tried from several different wifi and network locations, but the download stops midway through every time.Interesting side note: I recently conducted a reference check for a teacher I wish to hire for my school and the person providing the reference is one of the principals featured in this book.
Disappointed that the CD that came with it was broken and inaccessible. Publisher/author should provide these resources web-based and not on dinosaur technology.
I don’t usually like reading, but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this book! Although I am currently a teacher, I found this book a life-saver even to be used to teach me how to teach more effectively. Starting from data-driven instruction (always the go-to step), it is golden! It is somewhat similar to the book I read- The Breakthough Principals. These books are direct and precise in what to do in all kinds of situations. I just feel so much more confident in leading because now I am more knowledgeable in how to lead. You cannot live without this book if you are a leader in a school!
This is an amazing book that includes a disc with real examples. The book provided examples and templates that I have started to use on a daily basis.
I had to read this book for my graduate school class. It ended up being a helpful tool for understanding all the initiatives introduced during my school year. I do recommend it for those who need help with understanding why certain things are in place for certain schools.
Good
The information contained in this book is very valuable to me as an educational leader. The levers of leadership are well-defined and explained in detail. Practical applications are extremely helpful in my quest to build leadership in myself and others. Highly recommend!!
My senior leadership team at school love this book. We’ve based our improvements around it and the impact is amazing.
The book is incredibly practical gives easy to implement advice and support to help schools improve. The videos on the DVD is useful and gives clear insight to support the work in the book.The DVD was damaged as it was glued into the spine of the book and a replacement would’ve cost more than the book in postage. Check your DVD upon receipt.
There is some great advice in this book but you have to work to adapt it to the UK context. Its worth you knowing that before you go any further.There are some considerable and fundamental differences to how systems in UK and USA differ, despite the central purpose of teaching being easily transferable across the ocean. What this means is, if you want to use any of the worksheets, the clips and the examples with your team, you’ve got to alter them to make them fit for purpose. That is extra work for you.And of course, we’re all familiar with the ‘Eeyore’ in every team who resists change and will therefore use ‘cultural inappropriateness’ as an excuse not to engage in a central message shift during training sessions, unless you make those adaptations.That said, the ideas are sound and whilst many will already be familiar to any reasonably experienced and emotionally intelligent leader, there is still exciting new ground to be explored and ideas to steal. The clips are also useful as finding clips of people teaching that don’t involve ‘actors’ is quite hard. These can spark some good debate. I suppose then, it depends if you are looking for a ‘plug and play’ training manual as to how useful you’ll find this. If you are, I’d suggest leaving this one and instead exploring some of the offerings from the lovely people at UK based ‘Independent Thinking’ such as Ian Gilbert. I did find the ‘Americanisims’ to be intensely annoying and felt the cultural backdrop often derailed the central message. It therefore wasn’t as useful to me as I’d hoped.
I know very little about the American school system and culture, but as a former school chair of governors I (hopefully) have some idea about school leadership.This book, and several on-line sources, claim that the Leverage Leadership methodology has had widespread success, so it deserves attention.You have to search a bit for the book’s objectives. My take is as follows. Bambick-Santoyo argues that what makes education effective is great teaching, which cannot be achieved without great leadership, and then asks the question “Can this work for you?” His answer is “a resounding ‘yes’”, and he then states that his aim is to show how, with the correct use of the techniques he expounds (illustrated by several real-life examples), “success is possible everywhere”.The conclusion says “the central question school leaders must confront is about how to use their time”. A lot of the book is useful stuff about time management, and this is largely focussed on enabling school leaders, especially principals, to spend more time in the classroom, rather than firefighting and spending the day glued to their PC. (What underpins this is a “data driven” approach towards both students and staff – see later.)This is an admirable aim, and who would not support it? (One problem I had as a chair of governors was not having much time to go into the classroom, due to the amount of meetings; I am willing to concede this may have been partially my fault.) However, the book tends to gloss over two factors:-There is a limit to how much a head teacher/principal can delegate so as to allow them to spend more time in class-The book is concerned with students and staff not just primarily (which would be acceptable) but almost exclusively. Parents, for example, barely get a look in. This is symptomatic of the way the school is presented as almost a closed community. To take another example, heads in the UK have to spend a significant amount of time and nervous energy dealing with the educational authorities, but this book gives no hint on how a principal should manage their relationship with their principal (or any other higher authority).This partial sense of unreality also pervades the guidance on student culture. There is a strong implication that, as soon as you roll out the right culture the students will start behaving like angels, and discipline issues will be few and easily resolved. (I tried the index, but “behaviours” simply links to “staff behaviours”!)Call me old and cynical if you like. I know inspirational leadership in schools can work wonders, but the book appears not even to consider the possibility of failure.There are two areas where the alarm bells started to ring:-There is some advice on “holdouts”, i.e. teachers resistant to culture change. The book suggests that, if you rollout this approach the right way, with “a culture consistent around ideas and values”, “holdouts” will become isolated and will start looking for jobs elsewhere. Or, as one of the principals mentioned in the case studies observes, “it was this way or the highway, and some chose the highway.” This can happen with any new staff regime in any field, not just education, but there’s a lot of it about in the UK at present. The book suggests that, when recruiting, you test the water to see if candidates are happy with the data-driven approach, which is sensible; what is not mentioned is that good teachers don’t grow on trees, and that it takes more than five minutes to build a good school team.-My other concern was with the data-driven approach. When I did the right Google search, I got past all the success stories and found a rising tide of scepticism in the US about the data-driven approach. I could not help thinking of what Amanda Spielman said only last week:“The focus on data is coming at the expense of what’s taught in schools, so we want to bring the inspection conversation back to the substance of what children learn and treat teachers as experts in their fields, not just data managers.”Bambick-Santoyo and his associates and acolytes might argue that the data-driven Leverage Leadership approach is precisely the way for teachers to be treated as “expert in their field”. Personally, I would advise a mix-and-match of this and other approaches; even allowing for modification to allow for national differences in educational regulation and culture, I don’t view this book as a panacea for the UK.It would be fascinating to find out how well this book fits with the companion volume aimed at superintendents, “A Principal Manager’s Guide to Leverage Leadership 2.0: How to Build Exceptional Schools Across Your District”.
This book advertises itself as a ‘worldwide’ book but really only focuses on observations and teaching from America. I think there are lots of good ideas but you have to remember that the cultures are actually slightly different. Some of the ideas in the book could have an impact on the students, only I can’t see a teacher in the UK saying some of these things. For example greeting a child with “I appreciate you”? It’s sounds a bit cheesy.So, taken with a pinch of salt and read with an open mind, there are some really impressive stories in this book. Many of the ideas and theories are interesting – nothing earth shattering!The book is laid out in a structured way But it’s not the kind of book that I can sit down and read from cover to cover. It’s something to dip in and out of. There is a lot of information in this book! I would say the DVD is a great supporting two and some of the core idea snippets throughout the book are both thought-provoking.It’s not the kind of book that I can sit down and read from cover to cover. It’s something to dip in and out of. There is a lot of information in this book! I would say the DVD is a great supporting tool and some of the core idea snippets throughout the book are quite thought-provoking.The book concludes in one of the sections that if there is a single message it would be, and I’m paraphrasing here, that you try and achieve a big impact within the shortest amount of time. I’m not entirely subscribe to that but I think what the book is trying to say is use your time effectively! There will be better books for the UK market for leadership teams in UK schools but my view is that if you’ve time (not sure any teacher does!) then read up as much as you can from as many sources as you can.So, this wouldn’t be my first choice for a book to use in the UK. However, I wouldn’t recommend not reading it, it could be helpful in some schools? Especially struggling or underachieving schools.
