And her book is a road map for those who want to help them get there." -Diane Sawyer "Linda Cliatt-Wayman is the exemplar other school leaders can benchmark themselves against. She shows that if you lead relentlessly with conviction, clarity, and, above all, love for your students, there is no obstacle too large to overcome and no limit on the potential of any student." -Michael Spangenberg, Interim Head of School at Bright Water Elementary "A brave and exceptional job of leading with intentions of delivering HOPE, not only to the student characters within the book, but to all who choose to read the story, as well. Lead Fearlessly, Love Hard grants the reader the opportunity to witness up close, how love, humility, and an unwavering commitment to service, can transform any space in today's world." -Jerome Allen, Assistant Coach, Boston Celtics "An indomitable principal, widely esteemed as a school turnaround expert and known for her fierce love of children, Linda Cliatt-Wayman opens up about the challenges and anxieties that marked her struggle to save and strengthen neighborhood-based public schools in Philadelphia at a time when they were no longer simply neglected, but instead under assault. She exposes powerful lessons about leadership, identifies key drivers of institutional change, and throughout reminds us why neighborhood public schools are worth fighting for." -Jerusha O. Conner, Associate Professor of Education, Villanova University "Mrs. Wayman's steadfast conviction for working and leading on behalf of children is like no other.

How leadership with love can make lasting changes, even in the toughest situations Lead Fearlessly, Love Hard offers real, actionable advice for those seeking to change the education system from within. While countless books, articles, and speeches decry the challenges disadvantaged students in low-performing schools face, no one has offered a clear path forward through these challenges--until now. Author Linda Cliatt-Wayman, principal of Strawberry Mansion High School in Philadelphia, grew up in the same North Philadelphia neighborhood where she now leads and fought every single day for the chance to become a part of the solution. Today, she is a turnaround principal and popular TED Talk speaker who helps children living in poverty achieve more than they ever thought possible. In Lead Fearlessly, Love Hard, she provides hope, optimism, and a call to action to help all students reach their true potential. Steadfast leadership and clear principles can overcome almost anything, and this book shows you how to focus your passion, apply your skills, and lead your students down the path to a better future. * Discover and develop the leader within * Take responsibility and move forward every day * Give each student the critical interaction they crave * Be a force for real, positive change in neighborhood schools Highlighting the intersection of strong visionary and strategic thinking with on-the-ground, day-to-day implementation, this narrative-driven guide tells the stories of real students and educators to show how clear principles and strong guidance can turn around schools--and the students they serve.
