Reframing the Path to School Leadership
A Guide for Teachers and Principals

Third Edition

Other Titles in:
Leadership | Mentoring | Principalship

October 2018 | 208 pages | Corwin

The indispensable leadership companion—updated and more relevant than ever!

Part leadership manual, part short novel, this unique best-seller uses dialogues between a novice and a master teacher and between a new and a seasoned principal to illuminate how the simple act of viewing a problem through different lenses—political, human resources, structural, or symbolic—can reveal better options and solutions.


Featuring reflective questions and solid strategies for meeting real-life 
challenges, the third edition also includes

  • New views on building morale in challenging times
  • A revamped discussion of mandates, standards, and rubrics
  • A celebration of educators as skilled professionals
  • Expanded conversations about hope, faith, and parental involvement

Sometimes all it takes to solve a problem is to reframe it by listening to wise advice from a trusted mentor.
