Snapshots of School Leadership in the 21st Century - Perils and Promises of Leading for Social Justice, School Improvement and Democratic Community (Paperback, New)

In the book provides snapshots describing this critically important time in the United States when federal educational policy implementation has been at a level previously unheard of in the nation. It presents a chapter on the design and method of Voices 3, eight chapters on analyses of the focus-group discussions, and two invited chapters that provide a review and critique of the editors' work. The chapters will be excellent resources for professors of educational leadership as the editors respond to the changing environment and improve preparation programs for superintendents and principals. This book is a good resource for practitioners who desire to take the pulse of their colleagues in the field to see common concerns across various issues. Finally, it will be useful to policy makers as they consider the impact of their decisions on the implementation phases in districts and schools. This book provides access to the 27 focus-group transcripts on which the chapters are based. Instructors of qualitative research may find these data useful in their classes, e.g., for students to practice different types of data analysis and coding.
