~ LAINIE ROWELL, LEAD AUTHOR OF EVOLVING LEARNER AND INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION CONSULTANT
Whether you're new to education, an aspiring school leader, or simply on your educator journey, I highly recommend you read ASPIRE to Lead. Joshua Stamper tells his story from the place of humility—his statement, "I'm not the hero of the story," allows readers to be comfortable with productive struggle and the growing pains required for natural but progressive growth. Leading very early on in the book with the ASPIRE Model and then unpacking each element in subsequent chapters provides readers the necessary guidance wherever they may be in their leadership journey. Bravo—Joshua hits a grand slam with his first book. I can't wait to see what's next!
