Learners in today's classrooms face unique challenges that were unimagined even one generation ago.
Word & Deed Publishing is dedicated to providing resources for educators seeking to address challenges and inequities so that every learner can reach their full potential. We see schools as places where all children must receive equitable opportunities for success and where the status quo must be challenged.
Our focus on equity and social justice helps educators meet the needs of today's diverse school environments. Our resources can support all educators with making significant changes in the lives of students and their families.
In The Leader Reader, Griffiths, Lowrey, and Cassar have assembled the narratives of school leaders from around the globe who share their experiences and musings about the lived emotions and mindset of their life's work. Leadership for them is more than just a set of intellectual constructs or formal titles, it is a way of being and doing that evolves over the course of a career, or even from one day to the next. From a professor trying to explain and understand his role in mediating the construction of knowledge with his students to an educator who builds her community through end of school year cart wheels and chocolate cake, these readings position leadership as an experience that brings out our humanity and service to one another. For those entering the field or those with many years under their belt, this book is a wonderful reminder as to why we choose this path.
