Editorial Reviews
Review
“This book connects with what actually goes on in urban schools.” — Carlo Blair, Principal “I enjoyed reading every word. The 12 Laws are not only practical, but they’re designed to fit each school leader’s individual school’s circumstances. This is not a cookie-cutter approach to school reform.” — Glen Faircloth, Principal “This book confirmed a lot of what I’ve knew to be true about the problems associated with failing urban schools, but it also gave me a different way of looking at some of the other issues. Although the book is focused on principals working in urban schools, the book can be used by principals in all school settings.” — Savetria Francis, Principal
