About this book

Lead the change that you want to see in your school!

Is your school or district heading in the right direction? In this essential guide for leaders, Lee Jenkins shows how to unite and energize your team as never before, while helping your students to love learning and crave achievement. 

A trusted advisor to numerous districts, Jenkins knows how to successfully transform school culture – for the long-term. Beginning with an introduction from scholar Michael Fullan, each chapter presents compelling insights and strategies for leaders, addressing how to

  • Evolve your leadership style to guide, empower and serve
  • Apply the principles of continuous strategic improvement as an antidote to win/lose approaches to school accountability
  • Develop a healthy, positive culture of achievement by deeply engaging your students in their own progress and success

Turn to this resource and prepare to lead positive change, from the classroom to the staff room and beyond.

"This book creates a whole picture approach to school improvement while shunning the current top down model in favor of a school-led plan. The approach not only increases school performances, but values the school-level leadership and instructional faculty."
Amanda Mayeaux, Career Management Specialist
Iberville Parish Schools


"If your district is ready to move from arbitrary to observable, from fractured to focused, and from silos to systems, you've found the book that can move entire organizations from a goal mindset to a growth mindset. Lee Jenkins provides common-sense strategies that impact the efficiency and effectiveness of our classrooms, with a clear focus on student growth. In an educational era saturated with the latest remedy for what ails us, Lee provides a refreshing cure by offering simple solutions for lasting change."
