Leading with a Critical Spirit - New Strategies for Educational Leaders

This book offers educational leaders another tool that, if they are courageous enough to use, transcends the tried-and-true processes and procedures that have typically grounded the educational leader's performance. This book offers educational leaders the opportunity to use critical spirituality as a practice to wage war against the miseducation of so many of the nation's children and youth. The book demands attention be paid to the societal issues that impact what happens in schools and argues that the intellectual work in the schoolhouse must prepare students to create strategies to combat these issues and challenges.
The book can be used in advanced courses in educational leadership from multiple perspectives, including contemporary issues, social foundations, social justice, spirituality, and ethics

Bericht

"In these times of overwhelming uncertainty, Leading with a Critical Spirit urges educational leaders to move away from technical managerial approaches to leadership and begin to bring their whole selves into the work of leading the field. Now we see mind, body, and spirit as essential elements of educational innovation, reform, and leadership."
