Written for both new and experienced principals, this resource provides a blueprint for building visionary learning communities that improve student learning not only by shaping the internal school community?faculty and staff?but also by creating a partnership with the external community?district educators, families, community organizations, and service agencies. Administrators will find invaluable assistance from Practical Tips that offer strategies for implementation, Points for Practicethat highlight critical concepts and Points to Ponder that promote reader reflection.

? Building a vision based on your personal and professional values

? Honoring school staff members at all levels
? Examining and understanding the external environment
? Drawing effectively on community support services
? Collaborating with district staff
