Few books on school leadership have effectively brought together the best of educational theory and practice for school administrators as Elaine McEwan's Seven Steps to Instructional Leadership has.

Michael Pladus, 1999 MetLife/NASSP National Principal of the Year

This is an outstanding book with practical, ready to use suggestions as to how to improve teaching and learning in our schools. As practitioners, the students found the books to be researched-based, easy to absorb, clearly defined traits and descriptors, with stories to bring clarity to the traits, and with meaningful reflection activities to focus on present and future practices.

Pauli Nikolay, Adjunct Professor
University of Wisconsin, Whitewater

The book is an excellent resource for self assessment or a tool for gaining feedback from staff.

The School Administrator, June 2003

There is a good balance between the summary of research and references to the aquired wisdom born out of first-hand experience.
