By developing a leadership mindset, teachers are better able to inspire and facilitate a deeper and more meaningful learning environment. Establishing a Leadership Mindset: A Guide to Using the Power of the Human Brain to Motivate Learning, provides educators with high-impact strategies supported by recent advances in cognitive science and brain physiology. Furthermore, because these strategies support productive neuronal growth, they ensure maximum learning for a greater diversity of students, leading to a closure of achievement gaps and more equitable opportunities for success. These strategies are universal, can be adapted to any subject matter at any level, and have been replicated in the crucible of the classroom, department, division, college, and system with amazing results.
Using the multiplying effects of a leadership mentality with a team or organization is a buy-in to constant improvement--for students, teachers, employees, and supervisors. The inspirational goal of providing a learning/growth environment that moves others beyond their self-perceived limitations can be shared by all leaders, whether they lead students, children, athletes, employees, soldiers, colleagues, or others. By applying the concepts and principles in this book, readers can implement a lead-by-example approach that will allow them to enhance their own lives in their journey to enhancing the lives of others.
