This book introduces readers to both school governance and administration in education.

Used in ED ADM class You are not buying this to sit up at night for a little bedtime reading. It is a college textbook about administration. However, the book is to the point and researched based about a broad spectrum of issues facing the principalship. It provides a background and starting point for discovery about issues ranging from finance, politics, public school law and the emergence of the leader's role. These are all topics students in ED ADM will deal with once they enter the world of adminstration. | ||
