SYNOPSIS
Providing a bridge between the theory of school administration and the daily problem solving of school principles, this text for students of school administration is organized around the model standards of the Interstate Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC), and is based on research linking school leadership and school productivity. Enhancements for the fifth edition include an increased emphasis on the ISLLC standard's references to values of quality, care, renewal, and community. Ubben (U. of Tennessee) and co-authors cover topics including leadership as philosophy in action, institutional versus individual view of career, and setting realistic decision-making limits.
