Why School Leaders Need Vision

The concept of “visionary” leadership is defined and applied in this book as “supervision in schools” requires a level of “SUPER VISION” that can be best developed through quality leadership mentoring -- and mutual ideas and support -- for adding more value to the school. This book shows just how vision is important and useful in all schools and districts.<BR /><BR />Time has thus come to find build and use high-quality visionary school leadership in its many dimensions; thus this book takes at least ten different views (in the chapters) of the visionary roles and functions of education leadership in K-12 -- building on the roles theories and visionary actions of key players in the schools. No single perspective is enough as all views must work in concert to the benefit of teachers and students today. School leaders moreover need to have their own vision about the following: (a) what their work entails; (b) their school should be and look like; and (c) what their staff and students (and schools) can achieve.
