What readers are saying

Quotation Mark

Where was this book six years ago? I feel that I could have avoided a lot of rookie mistakes by simply having read this seminal work. It’s a must read for both those teachers sitting on the fence about pursuing administration and for those with years of experience as an administrator.

I wasn’t sure that Instructional Leadership was my destiny. Then I read “Brave & Intentional” and realized through the chapter activities, I was already well on my way to becoming a vice-principal. Without this book, I may never have left the classroom.

At times it’s cutting. In a good way. In a way that is missing in education today. Dr. Helar has a way of taking a complex and messy subject and getting right to the heart of it. He’s genuine.
