Leaders must become advocates for education-on Capitol Hill, in state legislatures, and within communities. \u003ci\u003eAdvocacy for School Leaders: Becoming a Strong Voice for Education\u003c\/i\u003e, written by an educator for educators, examines key issues facing education, demonstrates methods for addressing the issues, and discusses strategies to advocate for an education agenda at local and federal levels. Starting with local impact and moving to federal initiatives, Sandra Whitaker provides significant insights into school-business partnerships and the legislative process, allowing educators to approach advocacy efforts with greater understanding of the institutions with which they must work. The advocacy action points and questions for reflection included in each chapter allow readers to adapt the information and strategies to their local contexts. Based on her experiences working with the media, business leaders, and elected officials, this book presents practical approaches for working with educators and those outside the field to understand issues facing today's schools and for identifying and promoting sensible solutions that elevate teaching and learning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandra Whitaker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1578866448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781578866441\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e R \u0026amp; L Education\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.71h x 6.84w x 0.76d","brand":"Sandra Whitaker","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48439779197183,"sku":"9781578866441","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b7365ca6-4d25-4fb2-8003-b6cef9df5a41.jpg?v=1777179240","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/advocacy-for-school-leaders-sandra-whitaker-9781578866441","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
