Industry Reviews
"From my perspective, it is not so much the wandering and the gathering of information that is important, rather it is how the supervisor or mentor uses this information to provide reflective dialogue with the person supervised. This book focuses on wandering with a purpose and engaging people in dialogue." -- Carolyn J. Downey, President "This well written book captures the simple but essential truth for effective leaders of 'see and be seen'." The authors' work in this area is grounded in research and the wisdom of successful practice, making this a valuable addition for courses on general leadership." -- Todd A. DeMitchell, Professor, Justice Studies Program "Streshly and Gray have placed school leaders' wandering in perspective, concentrating on the day-to-day practices of the concept. This is a book for everyone concerned about the never-ending search for practices that enrich teacher and student experiences leading to enhanced student achievement." -- Margaret R. Basom, Professor of Educational Leadership "Hits the nail on the head with a detailed exploration of how our best school leaders manage their schools. Moreover, the authors have done it in an up-to-date, practical, and authoritative way. This book will have an impact on school leaders for years to come." -- Bob Avant, Principal, El Capitan High School
