Successful Schools and Educational Accountability Concepts and Skills to Meet Leadership Challenges

Successful Schools and Educational Accountability: Concepts and Skills to Meet Leadership Challenges (Peabody College Education Leadership Series) This book is a new and significant contribution to the education literature. There is nothing similar to this on the market because it is so focused on student outcomes, NCLB, and other recent developments. Michael Kirst, Stanford University I have reviewed many textbooks over time and can state without reservation that this is probably the most useful and applicable to educational leadership training and preparation programs. Anthony Normore, Florida International University I truly enjoyed reviewing Successful Schools and Educational Accountability. The clarity of exposition, the quality of research, and relevance of the content kept me with it. I think this book equals or surpasses other books on the market because of its accessibility to the reader.
