Leadership is a critical piece of managing a high performing public charter school. Understanding the issues and the challenges faced daily by school leaders takes on a significant role when creating, managing, and sustaining high expectations and performance. With limited resources available on this industry specific topic, Cameron Curry has created a user-friendly guide to help emerging or seasoned school leaders focus on five key elements for school success.
Based on his 14 years of managing three high impact public charter schools, the author has utilized these principles and witnessed firsthand the benefits they bring to students, parents, and his school colleagues. Understanding the importance of your school’s mission and creating a great school culture are just part of a leader’s responsibility. The elements of embracing parent
involvement, becoming an effective communicator, and learning how to maximize the potential of all school employees, creates a further understanding of what it takes to be an effective charter school leader.

With fourteen years’ experience in charter school development and leadership, Cameron Curry knows what it takes to create, grow, and sustain a successful public charter school. Charter School Leadership is a much-needed guide for educational leaders in this growing area. Its basic formula for charter school success is similar to my long-time recipe for success in business: Service-oriented leaders (administrators) create a motivating environment for their people (faculty and staff) who are then empowered to take care of their customers (students and parents). Read this inspiring book, and let it move you to serve your charter school students, parents, and community at a higher level!
