School leadership built around shared learning

Joe Sanfelippo and Tony Sinanis frame school leadership as work done alongside teachers, students, and families, with collaboration and learning at the center. The book organizes its guidance around ten leadership challenges, pairing each with a proposed “hack” and practical implementation steps. Its topics include staff voice, trust, student participation, home-school connections, technology, and reducing initiative overload. The structure moves from identifying a problem to considering actions leaders can take immediately and a fuller plan for putting them into practice, making the book a practical resource on building a more engaged school community.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • School administrators seeking actionable approaches to leadership and school improvement
  • Educators interested in collaboration among staff, students, and families
  • Readers exploring school culture, student voice, and teacher leadership
