Author Biography Michaels journey in education began 23 years ago as a research assistant at the Arizona State University Child Development Laboratory, where he studied mixed age playgroups and conducted studies of how children retain and recall information. Since moving to China in 1999, Michael was first a teacher and then left the education field to start up and grow two successful information technology businesses. One of Michaels start-ups was in India, which helped him to learn to reflect on his successes in China and adapt them to building effective intercultural teams. During these years Michael learned how to satisfy the needs of a diverse group of stakeholders, develop cross-cultural leadership and communication skills, as well as continue his studies in Building Effective Teams and Strategic Planning. Michael returned to the education field in 2009 and began to work with a number of Not-for-Profit Organizations, International and Chinese Bilingual schools to develop curriculum, train teachers, and consult leadership on staff capacity building strategies, which has included a long and mutually beneficial relationship with the Association for China and Mongolia International Schools and the Council of International Schools. Michaels website, , has more information about the work he does with schools as well as several webinar recordings and other resources related to the book. Review "In this book, Michael Iannini uses lessons learned from his years of experience in international education, helping schools such as Shanghai American School to achieve their goals. Building capacity within an organization is one of the key levers to effect change and Michael proposes concrete strategies for senior leaders and middle leaders alike to create that capacity. Readers will appreciate the big picture framework provided by the first six chapters as well as the practical tools developed in the last five, that can serve as a great book study for leaders and teams. While there is a lot of research on teacher leadership and middle leadership, the context of international schools is often poorly understood, and Michael Iannini contributes to filling a gap in an area of key strategic importance. I am thankful to Michael for putting on paper theories and practical applications our teachers and leaders were only able to access so far through workshops and professional development activities". --Dr. Emmanuel Bonin, Chief Academic Officer - Deputy Head of School, Shanghai American SchoolChief Academic Officer - Deputy Head of School, Shanghai American School"Hidden in Plain Sight" brings a new, and long overdue, perspective on how schools can assess and modify their organisational structures and practices to put deputies, teacher leaders and coordinators at the centre of transformational change. Meaningful change across a school requires a great amount of energy and collaboration. It is great to see many of the ideas and beliefs I share with Michael about the role collaboration plays in improving student learning captured in this book." --Rami Madani, Head of School, The International School of Kuala Lumpur Details ISBN1734058307 Language English Year 2019 ISBN-10 1734058307 ISBN-13 9781734058307 Format Paperback Publication Date 2019-12-02 Subtitle Realizing the Full Potential of Middle Leaders Illustrations 16 Illustrations Author Michael Iannini Short Title Hidden in Plain Sight UK Release Date 2019-12-02 Audience General Pages 168 Publisher Michael Iannini Imprint Michael Iannini We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
