School Administration from A to Z

Viac o knihe

The responsibilities of administrators in K -12 school systems seem to increase with the start of each school year. Many of these administrative positions have become pressure cookers due to the increased demands coming from students, parents, teachers, board members and a host of other individuals and groups. Consequently, school administrators are typically covered up with meetings and paperwork, leaving little time for anything else. This book recognizes the limited time available to school administrators for reading books that can contribute to their continued professional development. Therefore, it excludes pet theories, survey results, case analyses and quantitative data. And it doesn't have to be read chapter by chapter. That's because there are no chapters. Instead, the book presents 450 proven guides for initiating action and getting results, with the guides organized around sixteen topical headings focused on major responsibilities of all school administrators. Guides presented throughout the book will reinforce some of your thoughts about school administration. You will also get some new ideas, experience lots of positive reinforcement, and find that you can still enjoy reading a book about school administration. It's as close to a win- win situation as you will find anywhere.
