Veteran Educator Publishes What Works and Doesn't in School

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:

o Avoiding burnout as a school leader

o Encouraging parent involvement

o Creating effective class schedules

o Handling discipline in fair and thoughtful ways

o Building a strong school culture

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.
About the Author
Murry J. Schekman brings decades of experience to this book. He has served as a principal at multiple schools, including high schools and middle schools. He also worked as a director, assistant superintendent, and interim superintendent.

In addition, he taught full-time at San Jose State University in the Counselor Education and Educational Leadership departments. He ended his career as a superintendent in his home district. Each role added to his understanding of leadership, which he now shares in this book.

His career gave him the chance to see both success and failure up close. This helped him reflect on what truly works in schools. His honest approach makes his writing both helpful and relatable.
Why Readers Will Enjoy This Book
This book is not only useful, it is also engaging. Readers will meet real people who work hard every day to support students. Some stories are surprising, and others are inspiring. There are even moments that bring humor into the serious world of school leadership.

If you want a book that is easy to read but still full of strong ideas, this is a great choice. It is written for current and future school leaders, but also for teachers and anyone interested in how schools succeed.

The leadership bottleneck isn't strategy. It's the leadership team
For more than 40 years, executive peer groups have offered what many CEOs quietly crave: a confidential setting, a trusted cohort, and the opportunity to pressure-test decisions with individuals who understand the weight of the role. The concept has endured. The operating model behind it, which is local, in-person, and travel-dependent, remains expensive and time-consuming, even as the business environment has shifted toward distributed teams, faster decision-making cycles, and increased
