　　Teaching as Leadership demonstrates a commitment to and

professional endorsement of the power of teachers. Farr's book

speaks to the moral, ethical, and economic imperative to effect

improved achievement for all students, not just some. This is a

must-read for anyone at any level of our education system,

including those who are preparing to revise and reauthorize NCLB."
