School Launches 101: Food for Thought - Paperback

by Annette Isselhard (Author)

School Launches 101 is a meaningful collection of vignettes intended to inspire and encourage courageous conversations around professional development and school improvement. Select and read from the lighthearted anecdotes to the heavy-hearted testimonies reflecting the joys and challenges educators grapple with as you lead your class, your school, your district.

These 101 short stories touch on heartfelt antics of learners, the sobering realities of harsh homelives, the financial constraints of schools, the ongoing data-rich-information-poor dilemma, service leadership in learning communities, and the quest to touch the future in a positive way.

Each "launch" is followed by carefully crafted discussion questions intended to evoke thoughtful reflection and encourage courageous discourse on the path to personal growth and school improvement.

The profession you have chosen is not without obstacles. Dare to forge ahead with tenacity and compassion.
