Tall people stand out in a crowd. Tall people think and act differently: people like author Steven Bollar. He has spent his career as a principal and administrator creating school cultures that make students excited to learn and achieve their goals. In Stand Tall Leadership, Steven shows you that it doesn't matter what your natural height really is―you can stand tall in everything you do by thinking and acting differently from those around you. Designed for K-12 leaders, this unique and engaging book helps you overcome challenges in your school, manage effectively, inspire your staff, build strong relationships, communicate clearly, and much more.

Based on his incredibly popular keynote, “Ideas Ideas Ideas” showcases the most effective best practices from Steve Bollar’s vast educational experience.  From a Joke of the Day to make students groan and relax, to having a Thank You Day when staff and students show their appreciation for each other, this book will jump start any school’s efforts and inspire others to find out more.  You can’t take his entertaining personality home with you, but you can take these ideas and enjoy the good humor and belief in positivity that shines through in his writing.

Games, Dancing, Cheering, Recognition! Renaissance Rallies bring together students and staff to have a great time and celebrate students for academics and character, along with staff and faculty members that helped make those achievements happen. Steve Bollar and Tina Dietrich have several decades of combined experience organizing and leading Rallies in their schools, and they share everything you need to know about how to make them awesome - this book will prepare you to host your own Renaissance Rally.
