Lyle Hamm: The Rising Tides Playbook for Thriving and Flourishing Vice Principals, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This publication addresses a significant gap in the literature on educational leadership by focusing on the professional development and career trajectories of vice principals (VPs, Canada), assistant and associate principals (APs, United States), and deputy heads (DHs, Europe, Asia, Australia). While research and professional discourse have historically centered on school principals as First Chair Leaders, comparatively little scholarship has examined the roles, responsibilities, and leadership contributions of second-tier school leaders. This book draws on empirical evidence, theoretical frameworks, and practical case studies to provide insights into how these leaders can effectively navigate their positions, work collaboratively, and influence school culture and climate. In addition to its scholarly contribution, the publication will be promoted to teacher organizations across Canada, the United States, and Australia, offering opportunities for professional learning and advocacy for leadership development. It also serves as a resource for school district personnel worldwide seeking strategies to support, retain, and cultivate strong second-chair leaders.
