Читать книгу Stories of Caring School Leadership - Mark A. Smylie - Страница 13

Acknowledgments

This book is inspired by scores of practicing educators with whom we have worked in schools and in our classrooms. It is also inspired by the K–12 students who we see prosper in schools when they are both challenged and cared for.

We are deeply grateful to those practicing and retired educators and others who contributed stories to this book. We are indebted to the following persons, listed alphabetically, who shared their stories with us and gave us permission to share them with you:
