Empowering Ourselves and Transforming Schools by Judith W Irwin
A comparative case study of five "empowered" teachers is included to demonstrate that empowerment is an individual as well as a collective process."This book is a practical guide to empowering oneself and othersIt will help readers to make significant changes in their educational settings. In an age of shared decision-making and site-based management, there is confusion about power and leadership. Educators are expected to be empowered but often find it difficult to shift into these roles." — Nancy Mangano Rowe, State University of New York at New Paltz
"After an excellent analysis of the factors that cause teachers to feel isolated and powerless, and a clear outline of the predictable effects of this powerlessness on their students, the author presents effective strategies for change. The book is well written and carefully researched. It contains logical and inspiring suggestions for problem-solving, action agendas, and personal and professional growth." — Harriet Alger, Director of the Miller Research Learning Center, Edinboro University of Pennsylvania
