       — Linda Lambert, Professor Emeritus, CA State University, Hayward

 “At last we have a comprehensive book that teaches us about the practice of coaching and the principalship! This is clearly a must read for principals…and those who coach them.”
       — Ann Lieberman, Senior Scholar, Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching
