In this book, Rossow and Warner incorporate the best of all the advances in the theories and developments in the field on study devoted to the principalship since 1990. Although the titles to the eleven chapters remain the same as those found in the first edition, much has changed. Since many areas addressed in the first edition are nearly timeless, some topics are presented again. One of the basic premises in the first edition came from a clear change in the direction the principalship was taking in the late 1980s and early 1990s. There was a movement away from principal as manager — of people and a building — to principal as instructional leader. Unlike a number of movements in education which turn out to be merely "fads," there has been no change in this direction for principalship. The literature and the training for future principals continues to capture the concept that principals must be instructional leaders while attending to the safety of students and teachers. This book will assist those responsible for the education of principals, as well as help those already in the field become updated on the newest advances in the discipline.

Product Description 
Most of the texts in education law today present court cases that are heavily edited. Unfortunately, the editing usually occurs in the facts. The facts contain the essence of what must be known to educators in order to develop policies and practices. Facts are essential in deciding whether the case is “on point” and useful in building clarity for a present legal challenge. However, in the interest of economy of space which faces all publishers today, the decided to remove the concurrences and descents but leave the majority opinions with its facts and footnotes untouched. The vast majority of education law courses today are taught in colleges of education. It is typical for graduate students to study only the majority opinions for their coursework. Therefore, the majority opinions with all of the facts and footnotes are preserved in the original. Also of value is the precision with which the authors have chosen the seminal U.S. Supreme Court cases still controlling well informed school practices.\nIn this new edition, the authors have meticulously edited the cases to eliminate extraneous material and then explain how each case has contributed to the rules of law that govern schools today. This care has produced a book that is concise, accurate, and understandable. The authors’ nearly 75 years of combined education law teaching experience has also helped create one of the most well-written and user-friendly books on the market today.
