Empowering Teachers: What Successful Principals Do

Item # 093

Second Edition By Joseph Blase & Jo Blase
New insights into creating willing and motivated teachers — from the teacher’s point of view!
Joseph and Jo Blase provide a unique opportunity for principals to empower teachers to be their best. Based on interviews with over 800 teachers who describe in detail what their principals do on a daily basis to influence and empower them, Empowering Teachers shows the transformative effects principals can have on teachers’ work both in the classroom and in the wider school setting. Now an expanded and updated second edition makes this critically acclaimed book more valuable than ever.

The authors present descriptions of how successful principals work with teachers to improve self-esteem, confidence, commitment, innovation, autonomy, and reflection. Relevant concepts, models, and strategies help practitioners think through their approach to implementing shared governance.
