For those seeking to move beyond the paradigm of judging a good education by academic outcomes - and in Australia that would be inclusive of all independent schools that offer a liberal, holistic educational experience - this book provides practical, honest, and realistic insights into the journeys that school leaders have taken to transform their school's provision and equip students with the dispositions, skills, and knowledge that they will need in order to live fulfilling and satisfying lives.
The authors understand that one size does not fit all, and so while driven by similar educational visions, each leader's pathway is different - thereby opening up a range of possibilities, approaches, challenges, and solutions for readers. As a result, the book abounds with collective wisdom that is very readable and accessible, and inviting of a collaborative and distributive style of leadership.
I have no doubt that Powering Up Your School will resonate with all school leaders and provide inspiration for determined, resilient, and visionary leadership.
