A Good Place To Be: A Leadership Guide for Making Your Vision a Reality...within Your School, within Your Classroom, within Your Family, within Your Heart.
Aranha, Mary Curtis
The story in this book paints a picture of how a troubled school transformed itself into a community of leaders and learners working together to achieve a shared vision: a school that nurtured students to be all that they could be. The author relates her experiences and thoughts as she entered the principalship of a troubled school and transformed it into "a good place to be." Her story spans 12 chapters: (1) "The Story"; (2) "The School"; (3) "Empowerment 101"; (4) "A Community of Professionals"; (5) "Empowerment Through Communication and Listening"; (6) "A Community of Learners"; (7) "A Community of Cooperation--Leaders and Learners Working Together"; (8) "The Power of Recognition"; (9) "The Power of Vision"; (10) "The Power of Ethical Citizenship and Character Education"; (11)"Character and Citizenship--More than a School Program"; and (12) "Lessons for Leaders." These chapters are filled with practical, tested ideas and strategies for character education. The empowering, values-based style of leadership that changed the school in this story can work for any school leader--in the classroom, community organization, or family. The book concludes with lists of materials and resources available from National Professional Resources, Inc. (RT)
