This practical guide blazes the way forward towards effective leadership by providing tools and strategies that educators can adopt to improve their own schools.Leadership in America’s Best Urban Schools describes and demystifies the qualities that successful leaders rely on to make a difference at all levels of urban school leadership. In this comprehensive and insightful resource, each chapter is devoted to one of seven critical leadership characteristics found in high-performing urban schools and gives leaders the tools to move urban schools to higher levels of achievement for all students—but especially for students who are low-income, English-language learners, disabled, or of color.

Grounded in research, this volume reveals the multiple challenges that real urban elementary, middle, and high schools face as well as the catalysts for their dramatic improvement. In shining a light on the essential qualities for exceptional leadership at all levels of urban schools, this book is a valuable guide for all educators and administrators.

-Pedro A. Noguera, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Education, Graduate School of Education & Information Studies, UCLA
