K-12 Case Studies for School Administrators: Problems, Issues, and Resources (Routledge Revivals)

Case studies enable aspiring administrators to refine their reaction skills as well as their critical-thinking skills by responding to a multitude of problems in a short time. Originally published in 1998, the case studies in this book provide a broad-based overview of the kinds of real problems that schools were facing at the time. The problems administrators face on a daily basis vary in scope and complexity. Short cases provide opportunities to address, analyse, and resolve problems encountered in the real working environment. Students must actively engage in a process of inquiry and problem solving. This book can be used over several years according to the case studies selected for class use. This is a multicourse, multiyear action case-study text.

Review\nThis is groundbreaking and a wonderful resource! The work is brilliant and is demonstrative of the authors expertise and command of this subject. A great resource to dissertation writers and mentors. The knowledge and hints in this book would have saved me from having to re-write my dissertation from scratch four times!\n-- Lloyd Jaeger, EdD, former superintendent of schools\nI wish I had this book when I was doing my Ph.D; it would have been so helpful. The Table of Contents, Dos and Don’ts, timelines, and checklists serve as a way of staying focused and keeping on track. Hammond and Lester explain complex concepts in simple terms, such as validity, hypotheses, and research design. Talking about the relationship among student, chair, and committee was key as was your encouragement throughout the entire book. This covered everything; I can’t think of anything left out. -- Kathryn Lusteg, PhD, former university associate dean and dissertation chair\nThis book covers the basics from A-Z needed to complete the dissertation for the EdD degree. It is meant to supplement your doctoral courses and other resources, such as in-depth educational texts and software relating to research and statistics. The answers are now at your fingertips.Doctoral faculty and chairs of dissertation committees are going to appreciate having this resource to minimize the number of times they have to repeat the same information to their students. Those that are chairs for the first time will appreciate the ease in locating what is needed to advise doctoral students through the dissertation process.
