This book captures a powerful way forward. Today's challenges have led to a loss of hope at all levels of education leadership. The volume advocates for the development of two qualities that will bring back hope: spirit work
and the science of collaboration
. Built on eight school district cases of success spirit work inspires leaders and community members to join to create a positive powerful culture. The authors delve into new developments in neuroscience to show how spirit and collaboration represent revolutionary potential for education. Readers will find: a lifeline amid overwhelming and exhausting conditions; hope for themselves and the future of education; and ideas for building cohesion throughout school communities. We cannot allow our best advocates for children to be consumed by today's challenges. Spirit work and collaboration can pave the way to a brighter future.
