Mindful Educational Leadership

Mindful Educational Leadership unpacks the literature of mindfulness as it applies to K-12 school leadership. Crossing disciplinary and theoretical boundaries, scholar and mindfulness coach Sharon Kruse explores mindfulness in three complementary research and philosophical traditions--contemplative, cognitive, and organizational--and applies it to school leadership. This book explores how these perspectives complement and inform each other and the ways in which understanding each can inform decision making, school/community engagement and responsiveness, and advancing equity in school organizations. Full of authentic examples, stories, and models of mindful leadership from real educators, this volume helps readers become more mindful and effective in their practice. An exciting resource for aspiring educational leaders, each chapter also includes supporting resources for study, practice, and reflection on key concepts.
