This book focuses on using faculty mentoring to empower doctoral
students to successfully complete their doctoral studies. The book
is a collection of mentoring chapters showcasing professors and
dissertation advisors from the most prestigious universities in the
United States. They provide an extraordinary range of mentoring
advice that speaks directly to the doctoral student. Each chapter
addresses a professional or personal component of the doctoral
process that represents how these exceptional faculty best mentor
their doctoral students. Faculty contributions exemplify diverse
perspectives of mentoring: (a) Some faculty are direct and
forthright, pointing the mentee toward his/her destination; (b)
some faculty share personal experiences-offering mentoring advice
from the perspective of someone who traveled a similar path; and
(c) some faculty structure a dialogue between the faculty as mentor
and you as the doctoral student. In all cases, they open
possibilities for achieving success in doctoral studies. Students
discover clues to follow during their doctoral journey. Whether the
student is just beginning to think about entering a doctoral
program, presently taking course studies, under stress, and doesn't
know what the future offers, this is an ideal book because it maps
the entire doctoral process.

This innovative book outlines a comprehensive strategy to help
principals succeed amid increasingly difficult circumstances. The
authors take a fresh approach to the principalship by focusing on
the accomplishments needed to support student learning. Realizing
these accomplishments requires simultaneous leadership in four
domains - creating sustainable goals, developing a strategic focus,
practicing effective action, and building social and civic capital.
They show why these accomplishments and leadership domains are
important to a principal's success and how they can be achieved.
This groundbreaking text is an essential resource for
administrators - providing a framework for school leadership that
will stimulate the kind of reflection, analysis, and action that
improves individual practice. It is an essential resource for
educators - outlining an accomplishment-minded model that can be
applied to school leadership preparation. It is an essential
resource for policymakers - presenting a conceptual foundation for
change that addresses today's emphasis on accountability and
standards.
