Your School Leadership Edit

""Practically every person I know in a leadership position is overwhelmed by the “too many” demands they face in their roles. If that’s you, and I bet it is, this is the book for you. This book will tell you how to declutter your relationships, your calendar, and give you insights into how to reimagine what school systems can look like when they are simplified and streamlined. This allows leaders to focus on what really matters. I know it’s a book you’re going to need, because I need it too."" Jim Knight, Founder and CEO, Instructional Coaching Group, USA. ""This book is a powerful reminder that school leadership isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about understanding the weight of our influence and using it with intention, empathy, and clarity."" Peter DeWitt, CEO, Founder, Facilitator and Coach, Instructional Leadership Collective, USA. ""Tamera Musiowsky-Borneman and C.Y. Arnold begin by looking at our human needs, what we need to be inspired, refreshed, and effective. They offer a refreshing and insightful way to look at work – and life. Their 5R’s “decluttering” approach flies against our ingrained patterns of same old, same old. It asks that we pause, reflect, and move forward with visions and strategies that will benefit us and everyone with whom we work and play. This mindset is incredibly relevant today. This book is a treat!"" Thomas Hoerr, Scholar In Residence, University of Missouri-St. Louis, USA. ""Tamera Musiowsky-Borneman and C.Y. Arnold have created a practical resource for educational leaders who want to simplify and streamline their workflow. Designed for school leaders looking to refine structures and systems, this new addition to their minimalist resources provides actionable tips and strategies aligned with the 5R’s framework. Their approach offers a clear path to decluttering communication, improving time management, and tackling to-do lists with intention. It’s a must-read for anyone who wants to create more efficient, effective systems that make a measurable impact in the daily lives of educators."" Monica Burns, Founder, ClassTechTips, USA. ""Teaching is a profession of excess, and it’s not for the faint of heart. That’s why Tamera Musiowsky-Borneman and C.Y. Arnold’s book on bringing minimalism schoolwide shows you how to improve the priorities and purpose in your teaching practice through the magic of ‘less.’ This book challenged me to rethink my habits, strip away what wasn’t serving my students or myself, and approach my teaching with renewed clarity and purpose. And while it will certainly transform your individual teaching practice, the concepts also offer valuable insights for improving schoolwide systems and structures. If you’re ready to rediscover the joy and impact of teaching, this book is invaluable."" Dan Tricarico, high school teacher, author, and CEO, The Zen Teacher, USA.
