Publisher's Synopsis
The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented level of uncertainty and ambiguity within the education system. The pandemic has accelerated several challenging trends facing school leaders. Money to operate schools is more scarce. Creating a viable distance learning option for schools is now a high priority. School safety issues now must include basic knowledge of epidemiology. It makes you wonder, has school leadership become an exercise in just reacting to one crisis after another?
School Leadership: Learner-Centered Leadership In Times Of Crisis offers a new way to lead a school system by becoming a learner-centered leader. The book tells the story of a superintendent working in a time of crisis. Through that story, school leaders learn how to transform their school, or school district, to become learner-centered. School Leadership: Learner-Centered Leadership in Times Of Crisis makes the case that there is still much a school leader can do to be proactive for their school.
In this book, school leaders will learn how to:
- Focus on learners and become learner-centered leaders
- Create and articulate a vision of learning for their school community
- Develop a plan to become uncompromisingly learner-centered based on the tenets of The New Learning Ecosystem.
Distilling his decades of experience in schools, Dr. Butler lays out an easy to understand framework for learner-centered leadership that any school leader can use in their school.
