About Leading Adult Learning: Supporting Adult
Product Description Support the growth and development of all adults―teachers, principals, and superintendents―in your school community! Educators need different kinds of supports and challenges over the different stages of their lives. Drago-Severson’s developmental model of learning-oriented school leadership draws from multiple knowledge domains to help school and district leaders understand how to support professional growth. This volume: Details four Pillar Practices for growth―teaming, providing leadership roles, collegial inquiry, and mentoring Presents research from practicing leaders across the nation Includes resources to assist you in applying this learning-oriented model to your school and school system Review “With this comprehensive and compelling book, Eleanor Drago-Severson establishes herself as a leading expert on authoritative leadership in education.” -- Howard Gardner, Author of Leading Minds Published On: 2009-04-06 "As complete a primer for leading adult learning as can be found in print today. Each chapter includes cases and lessons from the field and reflective questions. Eleanor Drago-Severson combines research and practice to create an essential handbook for leaders of adults." -- The School Administrator Magazine, January 2011 Published On: 2010-12-22 “Eleanor Drago-Severson takes hold of an important and neglected truth: students grow best in schools where the adults around them are growing, too. In this nurturing and much-anticipated work, the author shows us exactly how to make this happen. Sound theory, vivid examples, and a practice-ready framework―it’s all here! Anyone who cares about making our schools better will feel richly rewarded for spending time with this encouraging book.” -- Robert Kegan, Meehan Professor of Adult Learning and Professional Development Published On: 2009-04-06 "There is no greater opportunity for improving public education than to make schools places where adults learn and lead together. In her rich and engaging book, Drago-Severson explores the challenge of this important work and shows us how success is both possible and deeply rewarding." -- Susan Moore Johnson, Pforzheimer Professor of Teaching and Learning Published On: 2009-05-15 "Building on the ′pillar practices′ of her earlier work and animated with stories, exercises, and illustrations, this book offers both lucid explication of the powerful insights of constructive developmental theory and intensely practical partnership in how to put it all to work on Monday morning. In these hard times, this is a welcome and hopeful blueprint for the reanimation of our schools and the transformation of our communities." -- Laurent A.
