"Sandra Gupton’s book on instructional leadership is based upon a great deal of "real" experience and is seasoned with a healthy amount of real soul . . . The book’s strength lies in its practical interpretation of the theory behind instructional leadership and its ability to provide principals with tools to improve their effectiveness on the job. Theory is presented in a practical manner."
