Repacking of a leadership classic
Kouzes and Posner are the coauthors of The Leadership Challenge, one of the classic leadership books. In this book, they have repackaged those ideas for an academic audience. While the ideas are not new, this recontextualization is very effective for applying them to the academic setting.

Harvey A. Levine

Jossey-Bass, 2005

Overall, very well done
I have been waiting for a good, practical portfolio management book and this one hits the mark for me. It contains a good mix of content including some "theory" as well as a good bit of practical advice. The writing style is clear, to the point, and provides you with enough to go off and make something happen in your organization. As an aside, I think the graphic on the cover is right on ...

Process "is as important as content, and sometimes more important." Edgar H. Schein

It is hard to find good activities for the portfolios that are easy enough for my students, but meet high-school grade level learning objectives, and are age appropriate. Just because my students are at kindergarten-2nd grade level doesn't mean that I can use ...
