Journeys of Charter School Creators tells of the journeys of ten thriving charter schools throughout the United States and their leaders over the past 20 years. The first seven cases are follow-up stories from the original book published in 2004, Adventures of Charter School Creators: Leading from the Ground Up. The final three cases feature three North Carolina charter schools and their leaders. Each leaders' narrative reveals amazing journeys with different paths taken, different choices made; however, these leaders were all entrepreneurs with a passion to guide their schools for the long haul toward success with a specific mission and vision to improve educational opportunities and a better future for a specific group of children. Readers will learn, through the firsthand experiences of these charter school leaders, lessons on leading in the challenging charter school world, a rewarding, yet somewhat tumultuous journey of growth and innovation.

Industry Reviews
In Journeys of Charter School Creators, Leahy and Shore peel back the many diverse layers of leadership revealing not only lessons in school leadership but in leadership as a field of study. Successful leadership is sustained through not only extraordinarily hard work and creativity, but through a marriage-like level of devotion and commitment to a set of shared values. This book is a valuable resource for aspiring and new charter school founders, education regulators and authorizers, legislators, and even traditional public school board members. While “Journeys” focuses on charter school leadership and creativity, the memorable lessons of its subjects apply to any organization.
