Michael Horton is the Assistant Principal of a highly-acclaimed charter school in an impoverished area of Southern California and a School Ambassador Fellow with the U.S. Department of Education. Previously, he has been a coordinator and administrator at two county offices where he coached administrators and worked with more than 200 schools.So many times we read leadership books but aren't sure of the impact or how they might influence our practice. This book addresses that mystery in an engaging and easy-to-read format. Using the reflective journey of a high-impact retiring superintendent as the basis, impactful professional reading is referenced and applied. This is the perfect read for any school administrator who is looking to broaden their horizons and learn to apply leadership literature to their profession.

Loved it! The real, compelling narrative keeps me turning the pages looking for more. The way leadership advice is intertwined and anchored in the story gives it the perfect context to make learning relatable and relevant.
- Joel Leal, Teacher, Houston, TX,
A must-read for every school leader or anyone considering a career in school leadership.

Through a creatively crafted story, Michael provides clear actions and responses that every school leader can benefit from.
- Ryan Mitchell, Vice Principal, Fonthill, Ontario, Canada,
Education is poised for a renaissance and it’s long overdue. Teacher professional development and classroom instruction have changed little since the dawn of public education. In Excellence: Every Classroom, Every Lesson, Every Day Michael Horton shows how school administrators and teachers can benefit from the vast material available in the areas of motivation, leadership, networking, and continuous improvement. John Dewey pointed out more than a hundred years ago that “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself”. Mr. Horton shows how an educational leader can use timeless leadership literature to truly be a lifelong learner and a better leader.
