When we view art, understanding comes in part as we engage in reflective practice. Here, author Zach Kelehear encourages school leaders and teachers to reflect on their own leadership capacities and to develop an art for leading schools. Using the language of art criticism and critique with real-life examples and case studies, he helps readers to identify an "eye" for leadership with specific discussion in matters of school leadership and instructional supervision.
