Differentiated School Leadership

"The personality type framework allows administrators to know their staff in ways that can be applied every day. Twenty years in the principalship have given me some of the same understandings as those found here, but this book allows those lessons to be learned more quickly and with less cost."
Brian Doty, Principal
Caledonia Middle School, MN

"This book is research-based and grounded in practice and practical application. A wonderful resource for ensuring high-quality learning environments that honor students' learning preferences."
Mark Bower, Director of Elementary Education and Staff Development
Hilton Central School District, NY
