It’s A Love Thing

In It's A Love Thing: Leading with Heart to Transform Schools, veteran educator and leader William H. Parker shares a powerful message: authentic school transformation begins with love. Drawing from decades of experience as a teacher, principal, and central office executive, Parker illustrates how leading with compassion, care, and conviction elevates students, empowers teachers, and strengthens entire school communities.

Through vivid personal stories, practical strategies, and inspiring examples, he demonstrates that love in action-expressed through vision, kindness, accountability, and relationships-creates school cultures where every child can thrive. More than a leadership manual, this book is a call to action for principals, teacher leaders, and administrators to embrace love as the driving force behind instructional excellence, equity, and student success.

It's A Love Thing is both a blueprint and an encouragement for those committed to lifting schools to higher levels of achievement by leading with heart.
