Críticas

"The moral imperative sustains school leaders through times of fatigue and frustration. It is the driving force that keeps leaders advocating for the changes necessary to ensure both student and societal success. Fullan has challenged leaders to embrace a vision that reshapes the context of education. The Moral Imperative of School Leadership is a timely work that addresses many of the greatest educational challenges of our age." (Tod Farmer, Assistant Professor 2010-03-09)

"Michael Fullan urges school leaders to move to a higher level of thinking and acting―to move beyond the concept of 'my school' and 'my district' to 'our schools' and 'our system.' The concept of acting with moral purpose resonates with educators who are frustrated by an overemphasis on accountability as defined by test scores. The dual goals of improving self and bringing others into a new vision of principal leadership is challenging and exciting." (Betty Jo Monk, Department Head 2010-03-09)

"In an era of public accountability, Fullan rethinks the critical role of the principal with startling clarity and vision. His assertion that public schools require a moral purpose of the highest order is a call to action for future school administrators to ensure that ALL students learn and become successful citizens." (Betty Flad, Assistant Professor 2010-03-09)

"Taking any and all schools from good to great demands the expertise of principals to build trust in the schools and larger system of schools. The Moral Imperative of School Leadership provides a starting point." (Nancy Moga, Principal 2010-03-09)

Reseña del editor

This book personifies how headteachers and other school leaders must become agents and beneficiaries of the processes of leading learning and achievement. It is about school leadership, with the head of the school as the focal point. The book explains and illustrates school leadership as a collective enterprise, how the headteacher with a moral imperative can only help realize it through developing leadership in others, and how it is the combined forces of shared leadership that makes a difference. This book will make the headship more exciting, and doable, with the net result being the headteachers's role figuring more prominently at both the school and the big picture levels.

Headteachers and all school leaders who want to make a bigger difference than they ever imagined they could are the primary audience of this book. The secondary audience is leaders at all levels, including policymakers who are in a position to alter the system and thereby create conditions for transforming the principalship into a powerful force for reform.
