The Contemporary Years

"Modeled on an account of one principal’s journey through two middle schools, a high school, and an elementary school, in urban and suburban settings...this book challenges you to think through your own style of leadership. The vignettes present a painfully accurate reflection of a principal’s day." 

Rebecca Kesner
Principal Magazine

"This is reality, this is what you won’t read in any other book but will experience on the job. This is not theory, this is what you will face trying to give students the best you can."

Lizette Howard, Speech Pathologist
Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia

"This book is an excellent bridge between theory and practice. It is accurate, it is relevant, and it is readable."

Robert J. Shoop, Professor
Kansas State University
