An essential guide for school leaders who want to lead with purpose, clarity, and resilience-one week at a time.
Being a principal or vice-principal is one of the most demanding roles in education. Every week brings new decisions, shifting priorities, and moments that call for steady, values-based leadership. A Year of Leading offers a practical and reflective companion for navigating the complexities of school leadership throughout the school year.
Written by Kevin Reimer-an award-winning Canadian principal, ICF-certified coach, and former Executive Director of the BC Principals' & Vice-Principals' Association-this book blends real-world insight, research-informed strategies, and vivid metaphors to help you lead with confidence, connection, and care.
Designed to align with the 40-week rhythm of the school year, each chapter provides a focused lens on one key leadership theme. Topics include building trust, leading change, navigating conflict, managing burnout, and having meaningful conversations that shape school culture.
