About this title

Review:

"Creating a warm, inviting, and emotionally secure school climate must be a priority of every principal. Ken Williams provides specific strategies to help principals focus the attention of the entire school community on creating such an environment. He rejects the false dichotomy that schools can either emphasize the academic achievement or the emotional well-being of their students. Ken calls for both, and I hope every reader of this book will heed that call." -- Richard DuFour "Author and Consultant"
