Murry J. Schekman shares true stories and practical strategies for teachers, principals, and school leaders
New York City, New York, United States, 27th Jun 2026 – Murry J. Schekman is proud to announce the release of It’s All About Leadership in Schools…: What works and some of what doesn’t!, a new Educational Leadership book now available on Amazon. This Educational Leadership book shares real stories from a long career in schools and offers clear, practical ideas that school leaders can use every day.
This Educational Leadership book is based on Schekman’s journey from starting as an instructional aide to becoming a superintendent. Along the way, he worked as a teacher, counselor, assistant principal, principal, director, assistant superintendent, and college professor. These roles gave him a wide view of how schools work and what strong leadership looks like in real life.
A Real Look at Leadership in Schools
In It’s All About Leadership in Schools, the focus is on real people and real situations. Instead of theory alone, this Educational Leadership book shares stories about students, teachers, parents, and school staff. Some stories are serious, while others are fun and uplifting. Together, they show what works in schools and what sometimes does not.
Readers will learn about:
- Building a strong school culture
- Handling discipline in fair and thoughtful ways
- Creating effective class schedules
- Encouraging parent involvement
- Avoiding burnout as a school leader
One key message in this Educational Leadership book is the power of enthusiasm. Schekman shows how a leader’s energy and attitude can shape a whole school. When leaders care deeply and show it, others often follow.
Built on Experience, Not Just Theory
What makes this book different from many others in the Educational Leadership field is its simple and clear style. Many leadership books are written like textbooks. This one is not. It is easy to read and filled with lessons that come from real experience.
Schekman even connects his ideas to research, sometimes after the events happened. This makes the book both practical and thoughtful. Readers do not just learn what to do, they also understand why it works.
The book also shares moments from opening a new high school and building its culture from the ground up. These insights are rare and valuable for anyone interested in starting or improving a school.
