Brown, Kathleen M. – Journal of Education and Practice, 2015
Great schools need great leaders! In fact, according to recent research by Seashore Louis, Leithwood, Wahlstrom and Anderson (2010), "To date we have not found a single case of a school improving its student achievement record in the absence of talented leadership (p.9)."

Douez, Danielle, Ed. – Southern Regional Education Board (SREB), 2014

Metz, Allison; Bartley, Leah; Ball, Heather; Wilson, Dawn; Naoom, Sandra; Redmond, Phil – Research on Social Work Practice, 2015
