PRAISE FOR HIGH-PAYOFF STRATEGIES

"There are tens of thousands of books on education leadership. This is the one to read. Drawing on years of extensive experience, Spiro offers clear and compelling guidance for effective school leadership that should be read by all who hold or aspire to hold such positions and those who work with them."
