Get the fuel you need to drive collaborative leadership in your school!
What type of leadership do you practice? If your answer is transformational or instructional, you’re not alone. Many of us rely on these tenets. But there are better advantages in applying a holistic angle including all stakeholders—an approach known as collaborative leadership.
Peter DeWitt unpacks six leadership factors in Collaborative Leadership, all framed through the lens of John Hattie’s research. Adding insight, practical experiences, and vignettes, DeWitt paints a powerful scheme: meet stakeholders where they are, motivate stakeholders to strive for improvement, model how to do it. The meet, motivate, model blueprint will inspire you to
- Transform your leadership practice
- Identify where you can make immediate changes
- Build and empower your leadership team
- Incorporate all stakeholders into the conversation
Designed to shape collective teacher efficacy and foster teacher voice, Collaborative Leadership will leave you motivated to work together.
