Leadership for Rigour, Relevance and Relationships: Leadership for Rigor, Relevance and Relationships is an excellent way to make a contribution to the topic of relationships in schools while building on the rigor/relevance vision of the International Center. Its purpose is to support school administrators at all levels K-12 to take a leadership role in creating/enhancing a culture of rigor, relevance, and relationships in schools. The kit differs from Using the Rigor/Relevance Framework for Planning and Instruction because it does not focus on instruction and assessment. Rather, it takes a broader perspective on rigor and relevance, introduces relationships, goes into depth on the school leader's supervision role, and provides a model for leadership and change. Case studies, tools, and staff development activities are included.**Authors:** Richard D. Jones, Helen Branigan
