Pius Ryan and Rick Ryan (who are not related) have developed, independently of each other, similar philosophical views concerning public schooling. They believe that "for children, schooling is not only preparation for life -- it is life" and that, consequently, district leaders have a responsibility to create systemic structures that improve classroom learning. This goal is accomplished both through leadership and the development of teachers. The authors believe that quality public schooling is established by building aligned, coherent, and sustainable systems and structures that support professional and school development, which, in turn, promote student success.
