Editorial Reviews

Review

"Here is a rare blend of storytelling and analysis, brought together in a book that is both insightful and inviting. Lee Bolman and Terry Deal allow us to see our schools, and ourselves, through the lens of imagination rarely found in educational literature, offering embattled and discouraged educators the precious gifts of vision and hope." -- Parker J. Palmer, author

"I love this book! Reframing the Path to School Leadership is full of great spirit, liveliness, and energy. Bolman and Deal are master storytellers, and this tale will inspire every school leader, whether administrator, teacher, coach, parent, or student." -- Jim Kouzes, coauthor

"The book is invaluable in helping the reader think about how to convert knowing about teaching and learning and leading to know-how about teaching and learning and leading." -- Teachers College Record ― Volume 105, Number 1, 2003

Not what I expected

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book is mainly a story about certain characters in a school district and how they act/react to situations that occur. I was expecting more research based information. This would be helpful to people who are entering school administration if they are young and newer to teaching. However, after ten years or so, you have already lived these situations so the book doesn’t do much for veterans.

Well written! I love that there’s a narrative to follow as you read through the text. Easy to relate to. It’s not all boring pedagogy and jargon. Very enjoyable. I would recommend to anyone going into educational leadership!

Great book, quick read!

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2007

Verified Purchase

Bolman & Deal's Reframing the Path to School Leadership is an interesting read. They use four frames of reference--the political frame, human resource frame, the structural frame, and the symbolic frame--to discuss leadership, both on the classroom and school level.

They use a fictional cast of characters that includes new and veteran teachers, and new and veteran principals. At first I was wary of the fictional narrative, but I found it interesting and it kept me reading. At the end of each chapter, which includes a number of fictional scenarios on familair themes (beginning of the year, discipline, tracking, special education), there is a discussion part that I found very helpful.

I'm a beginning principal, and I found this book informative and enlightening. It's also written for teachers, and I think I would've found the book just as useful if I'd read it when I was still in the classroom.

A New Way to Look at Things

One of the required readings for college that I enjoyed more, this textbook in its story format really spoke to me. A quick and easy read, this book allows the reader to learn about and look at school leadership transitions in a new light and reflect on the type of leader they would like to have and they would like to be. Using real life examples, the reader will enjoy this book for its entertainment value and its lessons.

Good book for teachers to read, new or veteran

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2008

Verified Purchase

I would recommend this book to any teacher. It is inspiring and has a good educational base. It teaches the reader many things while you read it. I had to read this for a master's course and really enjoyed it. It is like a novel in that it has a plot to it, but also has a reference guide aspect to it as well. It was helpful to me to read.
