Recensione

"The Elementary Principal’s Personal Coach provides school leaders with both inspiration and guidance for their challenging and important work. Diana Raney Williams and Essie Hayden Richardson bring to life the abstractions and aspirations of the ISLLC standards through helpful explanations, vivid examples, and compelling stories. Their reflective questions and use of journal writing honor the uniqueness of each reader, and they offer practical suggestions for further learning and action." (Dennis Sparks, President 2010-01-14)

“There is such authenticity when educators speak from true experiences. I found myself unwilling to put this book down. There are so many ways this book can be used by educators, but probably none more important than by the individual principal seeking support, affirmation, and inspiration for continuing the efforts necessary to achieve the vision for his or her school and students.” (Stephanie Hirsh, Executive Director 2010-01-14)
