"As a Middle School Principal, I work with teachers daily, by meeting them where they are and providing guidance and gentle pressure to further advance their expertise. Providing immediate feedback that is laser focused on student success, is key. Giving the right feedback, in a mentor/coaching role allows for reflection in a non-threatening learning culture. We are all learners. "All Students Succeed" is not about judgment on teachers. It's being honest with where we are at with our professional work and having the mindset to always strive to get better. On a continuum of continual growth, mentoring skills for principals are essential as part of every school's learning culture. This book is a resource for principals seeking ways to support and mentor their faculty in order to facilitate increased student learning."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
