Leading with Intent: Lessons from the Field in School Leadership

In an era of declining trust in public institutions, this book equips educational leaders with proven strategies from across the nation and beyond to build, deepen, and restore vital trust between schools and their communities. Trust in public institutions has been on the wane since the 1960’s. While local schools have consistently enjoyed greater levels of trust than other public institutions, the recent political climate is contributing to significant challenges for school leaders throughout America. Fostering trust is a critical role of educational leaders, from the elementary school to the district office. This book will compile proven strategies from schools throughout the country – and beyond – that aim to deepen, or repair, the trust between schools and their constituents.
