Review
“This book provides a hands-on approach to leadership. The story of how Dea Cox transformed education through his leadership style is worth promoting.” (Gary L. Willhite, Associate Professor 2012-01-10)
“At a time when unarguable strong leadership and identifiable heroes are harder to find, the story of Dealous Cox provides both hope and faith that good leadership can facilitate solving some of the complex issues that face public education in the 21st century.” (Lynn Macan, Superintendent 2012-01-10)
"Chapters offer a concrete formula for bringing out the best in school leaders, presenting a proven leadership model that works well in the school environment." (Midwest Book Review, October 2012)
About the Author
Richard Sagor recently retired from his position as professor and director of the Educational Leadership Program at Lewis & Clark College. In 1997 he founded ISIE (pronounced “I see”), the Institute for the Study of Inquiry in Education, to work with schools and educational organizations on the use of action research and data-based school improvement while he was a professor of educational leadership at Washington State University (WSU).
Prior to his work at the university level, Sagor had 14 years of public school administrative experience, including service as an assistant superintendent, high school principal, instruction vice principal, disciplinary vice principal, and alternative school head teacher. He has taught the entire range of students, from the gifted to the learning disabled, in the areas of social studies, reading, and written composition.
Educated in the public schools of New York, Sagor received his BA from New York University and two MA degrees as well as a PhD in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Oregon.
Beyond his work as a teacher and administrator, Sagor has had extensive international consulting experience. He served as a site visitor for the United States Department of Education’s Secondary School Recognition Program and has worked with the Department of Defense’s overseas schools, numerous state departments of education, and over 200 separate school districts across North America. His consulting has focused primarily on leadership development, the use of data with standards-based school improvement, collaborative action research, teacher motivation, and teaching at-risk youth.
His articles on school reform and action research have received awards from the National Association of Secondary School Principals and the Educational Press Association of America. Sagor’s books include The TQE Principal: A Transformed Leader; At-Risk Students: Reaching and Teaching Them; How To Conduct Collaborative Action Research; Local Control and Accountability: How to Get It, Keep It, and Improve School Performance; Guiding School Improvement With Action Research; Motivating Students and Teachers in an Era of Standards; and Collaborative Action Research for Professional Learning Communities.
Sagor can be contacted at the Institute for the Study of Inquiry in Education, 16420 SE McGillivray, Suite 103–239, Vancouver, WA 98683, or by e-mail at rdsagor@isie.org.

A must-read for educators!

Dealous Cox and the "People Strategy"
By Johan Maurer
I recently reviewed (not here) a book that affected me powerfully, Sarah Ruden's Paul Among the People. Whether or not the author intended it, that book seems to me to be one of the most spiritually persuasive I've seen in a long time.
It turns out that this present book, The Relentless Pursuit of Excellence--a secular book for a secular audience--also has a sort of evangelistic quality. Again, this was probably not the authors' intention. The two books are very different: Sarah Ruden wrote about early Christian history, while Relentless Pursuit authors Richard Sagor and Deborah Rickey wrote about an Oregon educator who is still alive and active. As secular as the book is (it's about public education, after all), they are clear that this educator, Dea Cox, and the philosophy behind his successful leadership in the school district they describe, are grounded in Christian faith--specifically in its Quaker expression.
Right from the start, the authors make it clear that Dea Cox didn't pursue a model that is sometimes fashionable today in the high-stakes world of school superintendents--the charismatic authoritarian. Nor did he begin his 14-year tenure in the West Linn-Wilsonville school district with a sure-fire set of formulas or educational doctrines that could be replicated by someone else with the right instruction book or guru close at hand. Instead, he pursued and implemented a "people strategy" that became part of the culture of that school district to this day.
Dea summed up his strategy this way: "The secret of being a successful school administrator is to spend your energy and resources attracting and retaining good staff." It's a deceptively simple statement with deep implications, and the book spends most of its pages describing the implementation of this "secret" in recruiting and interviewing new educators, decisions about tenure, budgeting, superintendent-staff relations, relations with students and parents, drawing school boundaries, adopting new technologies, and other areas of educational administration--all of which are loaded with opportunities for conflict and fragmentation. In all of these areas, the three core values of the people strategy are immediately relevant:
1. No person has a monopoly on wisdom.
2. We all have things to learn.
3. Wiser decisions are made when we consider multiple perspectives.
Each chapter of the book is a case study, or set of cases, showing in practical terms how these values are applied. I particularly loved the description of how Dea and his colleagues handled the process of deciding what computer system to use for the district.
Other values important to Quakers are also recurring themes in this book, particularly truth and trustworthiness. For example, the authors show how being truthful, instead of giving in to the constant organizational temptation to "feign certainty," had at least two very practical benefits: credibility with parents, and resistance to complacency within the organization. Thanks to Richard Sagor and Deborah Rickey, these and other important insights have been thoughtfully organized and made accessible in this short, fascinating book.
(Disclosure: personal friendship with Dea and Lois Cox--but I did pay full price for the book! This review is adapted from a post on my blog, Can You Believe?)
