Translating the reality emanating from this complexity into strategic and tactical action designed to build collective capacity and improve student performance is even more challenging.</p><p>Johnston and Williamson have created a practical and reader-friendly ‘travel guide’ that steers the reader through obstacles and opportunities confronting school leaders. Your route to success is enhanced by the authors’ experience and informed perspective."</p><p>--Richard A. Flanary, Deputy Executive for Programs & Services, National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) </p><p>"Johnston and Williamson have taken a challenging topic for school officials—lack of funding—and provided practical strategies for school leaders and educators.
