内容説明

Educational Governance and Administation, 6/etakes a problem-solving approach to the real issues that administrators face. The sixth edition of Educational Governance and Administration provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to school finance issues and schools as political systems. Its case-based approach, descriptive studies of how schools work, and a broad look at the historical, political, social contexts that make up this area of study make this book a valuable tool for every aspiring educator, policymaker, and citizen looking for an overview of the current American educational system. Educational Governance and Administration examines administrative practices with a critical eye and provides a balanced overview of the development of educational administration, taking into account the roles of teachers, students, principals and superintendents. Examining the expanding role of the government in education and leadership, how schools work as political systems, and how administrators balance local, state and federal influences, the extensively revised Sixth Edition contains a completely updated and comprehensive discussion of policy and policy making, as well as the financial and legal challenges that school leaders face.
