A School for Each Student: High Expectations in a Climate of Personalization - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

With more than thirty-seven years of experiences in educational leadership, Nelson Beaudoin brings practical and exciting ideas to the discussion on school reform. His work is guided by the belief that leaders should listen more than talk, care more than judge, and understand more than guess. Beaudoin has led two high schools through a Comprehensive School Reform grant. His schools have received national recognition both as a Service Learning Leader School (2001) and as a First Amendment School (2004). He was selected Maine's 2000 NASSP Principal of the year. He has presented his message on inspirational leadership, the magic of student voice, and creating a culture of change throughout the country. His faculty's work on Professional Learning Communities, Student-Led Conferences, and Student Engagement has been replicated in numerous schools. His first book, Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone: Lessons for School Leaders, demonstrates that great things can happen when school leaders refuse to settle for business-as-usual. His second book, Elevating Student Voice: How to Enhance Part Icipation, Citizenship and Leadership, shows schools how to empower students. This book explores factors that lead to greater student success, a success achieved by changing the focus of schools from 'all' students to 'each'D; student. Beaudoin is currently the principal at Kennebunk High School in Kennebunk, Maine.
