"Ellie Drago-Severson is one of our most insightful experts on the development of adult educational leaders.

She is unique in her ability to move back and forth comfortably between powerful ideas and promising practices." —Howard Gardner, Professor of Cognition and Education Harvard University "This is not another book about education reform to be read and cast aside—this is a book to be savored.

It contributes profoundly to our understanding about how adults learn, the differences in the ways that adults learn, and how we can support and challenge adults as continuous learners within the context of the school day." —Deanna Burney, Executive Director Leading by Learning, LLC "Can those who teach in and lead our schools dramatically improve the development of their students without a new commitment to their own ongoing development?

Drago-Severson and her co-authors think not. But more than this, they provide an expansively intelligent, intensely practical, research-based route to realizing this new commitment." —Robert G.
