Transforming Educational Administration: Meaning, Community, and Excellence

This unique Introduction to Educational Administration focuses on educational leadership at the individual school level, rather than on administration at the district, state and national levels. At the building level, it explores the questions of school purpose and how to establish a schoolwide learning community rather than narrow management skills such as budgeting, personnel problems and time management. It deals heavily with the life experience that students, teachers, and parents bring to school, and lends importance and recognition to those experiences.
