Customer Reviews

It was like "edit" and "replace"
I read his other book What Great Teachers Do differently and enjoyed it. It is a quick read and inspires conversation. As a result, I quickly purchased his other book. Unfortunately, most of the chapters were the same but where it read "teacher" in one book it read "principal" in this one. So obviously I was disappointed that I paid for the same book twice. Pick one book for sure. It is worth it. But not both.

What Great Principals Do Differently
This is an excellent practical guide for making you a more effective school principal. If you like and live this book, then you will also want to share "What Great Teachers Do Differently" with your teaching staff. Anyone who has heard Todd Whitaker speak will be inspired by his down-to-earth methods and insights that make sense, show respect to students and motivate everyone to do an excellent job.

The Best
I could not put this book down. Out of all the educational leadership books I've read, this was a simple read with the most applicable suggestions. It is a resource that I can read over again and get more out of it.
