Teacher Who Came to Rivertown A Case Study

Bob Perthell, reputed to be the best teacher in the district, becomes the best school principal in a small village beset by teacher turnover and alcohol problems. Perthell beans to work quietly with community leaders to develop a local response to the alcohol problems and to provide activities for young people. But his leadership at the school is ineffectual. This case raises issues about educational leadership, the responsibilities of a principal, competing demands on professional time and energy, and ways of establishing good working relationships in culturally diverse communities.Kleinfeld, Judith is the author of 'Teacher Who Came to Rivertown A Case Study' with ISBN 9781877962080 and ISBN 1877962082.
