Leading Through Quality Questioning :

This handbook for school leaders (principals, teacher leaders, other school and district leaders) applies the principles of Quality Questioning (Walsh &BAD:amp; Sattes, 2005) to four critical leadership functions: maximizing, mobilizing, mediating, and monitoring. Walsh and Sattes show how questions, not answers, are the fuel that power school improvement and concurrently drive the learning community. The book seeks to make the practice of quality questioning concrete to busy leaders by offering exemplar questions and processes that can be adapted to local settings.
