Combining both the theory as well as the practice of the education reform process, this unique breakthrough volume focuses on every aspect of the change process in high school education today. Short- and long-term strategies for each phase of the process-provoking, creating, managing, supporting, and sustaining reform-are covered. Based on the real-life experiences of the author and others, this book recognizes that most high school reform is short-lived. It stresses the ways to create and maintain positive change, making the process a long-lasting, worthwhile mission for the school's leadership and ultimately the students. Short, useful summaries of high school reform provide true-life pictures of what really happens in the midst of changing the way educational institutions operate. These stories cover school-based management, collaborative or shared leadership, school-within-a-school groupings, interdisciplinary instruction, school-based budgeting, new models for professional development, and others. Through these examples, readers can understand how reform strategies work and how to apply and adapt them to their own situations. As an added feature, this book provides the names and locations of schools attempting each reform as well as the names and addresses of school reform networks that readers can contact in their own efforts.

"The authors present ten essential components to successfully restructure schools. They organize these components into three categories: the visionary elements, quality improvement elements, and collaborative elements." "The process of restructuring begins with a total reconceptualization of what schools are for and how they function. During this process, educational leaders must work to create a shared vision of success where student performance improves and the school is viewed as a model of organizational excellence. Once the school vision and mission have been developed and articulated, school leaders facilitate the realignment of curriculum, instruction, and assessment, while reorganizing the school to fit the school's newly defined mission." "After presenting the visionary elements of restructuring, the authors discuss concrete ways to improve school quality. Enhancing the teaching profession, implementing school-centered decision making, expanding the use of technology, and providing excellent service lead to higher standards and improved performance for students, teachers, and administrators." "The collaborative elements of restructuring include increasing parent and community involvement, building collaborative relationships internally and externally, and providing extended services. The authors emphasize the importance of building collaborative relationships within schools and then extending those relationships to the broader school community.".

The School Leadership Survival Guide: What to Do When Things Go Wrong, How to Learn from Mistakes, and Why You Should Prepare for the Worst is intended as an uncommon guide for school leaders and a resource they can turn to when confronted with issues they might not normally face in typical practice. The book serves as a bridge between research and day-to-day school leadership, and is intended to help leaders and school communities improve in areas they routinely avoid. In this sense, the book is meant as a “go to” resource for principals, those who train and teach them, and scholars. Although authors recognize the complexity of issues raised in the book, each chapter has a “How to” “What to do” or “Why You Should” ethos in order to give the book a unifying structure and help provide a practical translation of research and theory into practice. Some of the issues addressed include: How to elevate student voice; How to navigate religious conflict in the school and community; How to improve support for LGBTIQ students; Why You Should develop a natural disaster plan; How to work against racism in the school and community; How to practice inclusion in the school; How to make a vision and mission come to life; How to manage relationships with difficult people; What to do when there is racial tension in the community; How to learn the history of your school and community—and why that matters; How to guide and support a leadership team, and; What to do in a school with low trust.
