Summary

`To ′repair′ a plank in your educational leadership platform or to build a new platform, Gupton′s The Instructional Leadership Toolbox is indeed a useful tool′ - Fred Carver, Professor (Retired), University of Georgia, Athens, GA

`This relevant book is presented as a true balance of theory and practicality. Gupton does an excellent job of giving the concept as theory and then telling us how to apply that concept on a day-to-day basis′ - Tressie Shaw Harper, Superintendent, Moss Point School District, Moss Point, MS

`She′s nailed it! The Instructional Leadership Toolbox is a brilliant blueprint for successful, values-based school leadership. Practical, insightful, and accurate-this book is a ′must read′ for every school administrator at any level′ - Lisa Hall, Assistant Principal, Northside Middle School, Greenwood, SC

Today′s schools require leaders who focus school efforts and resources on what is happening in the classroom: teaching and learning. S Lee Gupton examines the instructional leadership role of the principal, providing school leaders with practical ways to reflect on, determine, and improve their own instructional goals. Using a unique toolbox metaphor, this resource book also offers a variety of helpful "tools"-skills, strategies, and information-drawn from today′s best research and theory in school administration.
