Building Trust for Better Schools by Julie Reed Kochanek

Building Trust for Better Schools by Julie Reed Kochanek

Kochanek links the growth of trust with positive outcomes that benefit schools, such as increased participation, greater openness to innovations, boosts in parent outreach, and higher academic productivity.

"While trust has been shown as a key mechanism for facilitating school improvement, how that can be accomplished is not altogether clearIn this excellent book, Kochanek, through in-depth case studies and sophisticated quantitative analyses of data from a large urban school system, convincingly demonstrates how principal leadership can promote and sustain trust among administrators, teachers, and parents."

"Kochanek′s book not only clearly explains the theoretical underpinnings of trust development in schools, but also provides rich case studies which explore this theory in action."
