By Kwame Andre Carr Ed S and Kwame Andre Carr Ed.S.

This text is ahead of its time. And if you're a new school principal, then you'll understand it. Education is entering a new paradigm Instructional leadership has led the way for the last three decades; however, this will soon give way to cultural leadership. Leaders that cannot sustain cultures and improve school climate will find themselves in struggling schools despite their instructional efforts. The foundation of any successful school is the culture and climate its student achievement rests on. This chronicle and reference book is for principals, aspiring school leaders, interview candidates and anyone tasked with the responsibility to significantly improve student achievement and school climate using the school turnaround process. This book is written by an assistant superintendent that successfully turned a middle school around during his first principal-ship in under three years. Not only did the school improve, but the achievement gains in the school were among the highest in the state over a three year period. The author attributes the protocols outlined in this text as the catalyst for improving school climate and culture and the academic gains that resulted.
