Reviews

Paul Schkade
Both the book and the class inspired me to better support my colleagues' strengths and empower them to be innovators in their classrooms and our school. This is a terrific class for teachers as well as for school and district administrators.
Tamara Walter
A great class to think about teaching a class in which you would want to be a learner, and connecting with others to lead in the "innovator's mindset".
Jeanne Steffens
This class helped me learn about different ways that I can use to create better leadership and relationships for developing shared visions.
