Schools need bold, fearless, and innovative leadership more than ever, but school leaders have been back on their heels for at least the past two years and have allowed others to hijack our narrative, something we ought to be directing. We now find ourselves intimidated by the loudest parents, the most partisan school boards, the most over-the-top media figures, and the most cynical politicians. Sadly, we've had to consistently play defense while the heroic work of our teachers, administrators and staff members has been largely ignored and certainly unappreciated. The national teacher shortage should surprise no one. Lack of support, lousy pay, and a casual disregard for the value of our teachers has left current and potential teachers discouraged and uninspired. We need to stand up for our folks, demonstrate boldness, recapture the message, encourage the beaten down, and embolden those who genuinely care about the future of our kids!

Courageous School Leadership: Don't Let the Why Get Lost in the How
David C. Jeckis currently serving in his 15th year as a public school superintendent. A former high school teacher, coach, and principal, Dr. Jeck has demonstrated courageous leadership at every turn, and he has championed a leadership philosophy that always puts children first.
Courageous School Leadership Is just the guide leaders need to help them see the "forest through the trees.” In this practical, plainly spoken text, Dr. David Jeck brings to the fore all of the leadership qualities and challenges we face and forces the reader to “lean into leadership” and not shy away. This book is rooted in the moral, ethical, and emotional obligation leaders, especially Dr. Jeck, have to ensure schools and divisions thrive…not to mention Dr. Jeck injects humor and fun into his writing to capture the reader. This is a must read for not only emerging leaders but also leaders who have been on their heels "playing defense” for the past several years…the book steels you for proactive movement.
