Seven Secrets of the Savvy School Leader: A Guide to Surviving and Thriving

by Robert Evans

The keys to having an outstanding career as a school leader. The American educational system is in crisis; trends of recent years have been extraordinarily hard on educators. An entire generation of school leaders is retiring, many of them early, and the number of candidates applying to replace them is plummeting. In many districts, applications have shrunk by nearly two-thirds. Seven Secrets of The Savvy School Leader hopes to counteract these glum statistics by giving both aspiring and experienced school leaders important survival tools, and encouraging long-term leaders to renew their faith in their own abilities. Written an expert on school leadership who has worked closely with thousands of schools over the years, the book will help anyone serving as or considering becoming a school administrator.

Sound bytes, but garbage. White dude doing white dude mansplaining.

[Guanhui · Rating 3 out of 5]

Useful insights which could be presented more cogently.

[Tamara Wolpowitz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Honest, realistic and delivered with a sense of humor. Just enough information to guide without being completely overwhelming.

[Jay Dean · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this before the start of each new school year. Always an inspiration.

This book beautifully reaffirmed much of my thinking about school administration. I'll be referring back to it very often because of the timeless nature of the advice that it contains.
