This book provides insights into the everyday practices of school
leaders as told through the real-life stories of principals. The
editors and their contributors blend practice with theory, helping
aspiring leaders to discover that school leadership is not simply
putting prescribed solutions into action, but a constant encounter
with quandaries that demand thinking, responding, and adjusting to
the situations at hand. Readers build their capacities to view
quandaries from multiple lenses, consider a variety of responses,
and draw conclusions based on perspectives that may vary from those
initially identified. The chapter authors encourage a sharper
self-awareness of what scholars value and envision about education,
encouraging them to think about how to navigate decision-making
through a variety of theoretical frameworks and practices while
balancing their own leadership platform development.
School administrators want to be better leaders, strategic
planners, and stewards of their time and resources. Gary Ivory
explains that technology, rather than an end in itself, is a
powerful tool for administrators with these goals in mind. The
compilation of expert advice in his book will walk the reader
through presentation software, spreadsheets, the Internet,
networks, and system models--all with an understanding of the very
practical needs of administrators. For the uninitiated to whom
technology appears daunting, and for those who simply want to hone
their organizational and leadership skills, this book is a ready
reference guide.

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.
In the book, we provide snapshots describing this critically
