About the Book

"Yo! Joey!" is the autobiographical account of fifteen years of superintendency in the Upper Darby School District (PA) from former Superintendent Joseph P. Batory.

About the Author :
Joseph Batory was the Upper Darby (PA) School District's Superindentent of Schools from 1984 until his retirement in 1999. He was recognized for his numerous accomplishments as a public school leader with the Distinguished Lifetime Service Award from the American Association of School Administrators in 2000. Additionally, in 1990, he was named as one ofThe Executive Educator's 100, a group of only 100 outstanding school leaders chosen from America's school administrators by a distinguished panel of independent jurors.

Review :
"Yo! Joey!" is an unusual book from an unusual school leader, Joe Batory is a courageous champion for children who is not afraid to take a stand on behalf of young people and what is right for public education. This book is a humane look at the role of the superintendent. It will provoke and inspire you. Wonderful...Marvelous...I wish Yo! Joey! could be read by every educator in America. It would recharge their batteries. Finally, someone has written a book that tells it like it is in public education. Yo! Joey! is a riveting book that should be taught in every university where students are preparing for school leadership roles.- Joe Batory is a magnificent writer. The tragedy is that as an author he remains one of America's best kept secrets. His work should be required reading in graduate schools of education..... The superintendency is not a walk in the park. Like soldiers returning from combat, some superintendents never reveal what it was like to walk in those hallowed wing tips...Yo! Joey! gives us a glimpse into a world that ranges from unleashing the potential of students and staff to dealing with threats. And he does it with a combination of seriousness and a sense of humor. This book both raises eyebrows and provides insights into one of America's most challenging and important leadership positions…the school superintendency. Joe Batory is a magnificent writer. The tragedy is that as an author he remains one of America's best kept secrets. His work should be required reading in graduate schools of education. ...belong[s] in every library serving school personnel and those preparing for school administration as well as the personal libraries of superintendents. The 'Summaries of Messages' might well end up on the walls of superintendents all over the country where they should be frequently read. "Yo! Joey!" is wonderfully honest…a courageous work…three cheers from a new fan.
