Publisher Synopsis
Truly a groundbreaking effort and one that deserves serious attention. -- Don Saul, AASA American Superintendent of the Year, 2000 The book is based on extensive research, loaded with real examples, and it reflects the authors' concern to improve the conditions of all schools. Because of the book's comprehensive focus, it will be valuable to practitioners, fledgling administrators, and other educators who are striving to improve the conditions in schoools. -- George E. Pawlas, Professor of Educational Leadership * The School Administrator, January 2003 * Breaking the Silence is the first empirical report of the actual experiences of abused teachers; that is, what constitutes principal mistreatment and its impact on teachers and their work. -- Chicago Union Teacher, May 2003 Blase and Blase sound the alarm on principals' mistreatment of teachers, and begin the important work of finding constructive solutions. Not just an expose for the purpose of raising awareness, the book is also a guide, providing practical strategies for preventing and correcting this mistreatment. -- Georgia Association of Teachers (NEA) Newsletter, 2003 Required reading for educators around the country.Long overdue, and finally brings this serious problem to the public's attention. Phenomenal...every abused teacher's story on every page. -- American Society for Ethics in Education website The book fell from cyberspace...the answer to our prayers.Blase & Blase have the integrity to reveal what has been a very deep, dark, destructive secret.
