In this updated collection of revolutionary articles, Sergiovanni encourages school leaders to discover the craft of moral leadership, practice effective instructional leadership, and build strong learning communities.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

The articles in this revolutionary collection are drawn from the best of Sergiovanni's work. The collection is divided into three sections. Section one defines leadership as a moral craft. Section two addresses the developmental stages of leadership. Section three discusses leadership roles in the learning community. A common theme through all three sections stresses the importance of effective leaders being able to build learner-centered communities.

Rethinking Leadership compiles research and reflection about leadership to provide educators with practical advice for improving school environments, a clear sense of purpose, and a strong commitment to success.
