An education leader who not only knows how
to look both ways but also keeps setting me up
to learn and grow as an educator
Acknowledgments
Since 2000, scores of school leaders have invited me into their learning communities as we partnered on professional development. They shared their thoughts and ideas and fears as we worked to foster true collaboration and productive change. Thank you!
Beth Russell in particular allowed me to join her on initiative after initiative. I learned from both her example and from the work we did together on systemic change. Once again, she generously allowed me to share our story in these pages. Other leaders also gave up some of their precious time to talk with me about their successes in leveraging the interdependencies of leadership. A special thanks to Jennifer Abrams, John Alberts, Tim Brown, and Patrick Duffy for their time, their stories, their insights, and their review of how I presented their ideas.
Barry Johnson, founder of Polarity Partnerships (www.polaritypartnerships.com), introduced me to the power of both–and thinking, which helped me reframe the differentiated coaching model. He generously shared ideas, exercises, diagrams, and most of all, wisdom. Other associates of Polarity Partnerships, including Susan Dupre, Leslie DePol, and Cliff Kayser continue to answer questions, share their discoveries, and in other ways engage in the insightful and generous learning community. Wendy Behrens, director of Gifted Education for Minnesota, brainstormed with me early on about how to make this book practical and meaningful. Dozens of other school leaders have also given me information and advice to improve the content. Thanks to all!
