I come from a family with a teacher who has won many accolades and we all have teachers we remember fondly and also not as fondly so it is with that perspective that I read this book, as did my family member who is a teacher. Teaching as Leadership offers great anecdotes from teachers who have made a difference in the lives of disadvantaged students but none of them really speak about whether this came at their own personal cost or how their laser focus impacted their families (did they have children of their own when they came home?). Chapters one and two try to build inspiration and ask you to set high standards and involve the families in the process. Both are important ideas that can be executed to differing levels of success depending upon your community. If family members in the community work two and three jobs to stay afloat, all speak a different language than the language of instruction, and/or are in the midst of social crises, than they are understandably limited in how much more they can give to their child's education without support services from the government. That being said, the last chapter asks teachers to work relentlessly... Many teachers work as they they are the CEOs of large corporations putting in 60 to 80 hour weeks that go unnoticed because so much of their work is taken home with them. The burn-out factor is a huge problem and chapter six asks teachers to, "Assume personal responsibility for dramatic student learning...and overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles." How many people could last 25 years in a job that demands that of them every day? Is the shift to making teachers as responsible for the students as parents realistic and sustainable? The family member that was a teacher found the book to have many good suggestions for impacting student achievement and was able to create useful checklists for classroom use. This member also liked the idea of teaching as leadership so it is recommended but with the advice to think about not only what can be achieved but what can be sustained.
