With dwindling funds and resources, tougher state and federal
standards, and fatigue from more regulations and testing, many
school administrators are giving up _or 'crashing' and leaving
their posts. This book examines the process of preparing,
encouraging, and retaining quality leaders at the school and
district levels. Beginning with a chapter outlining six steps of
critical organizational supports, subsequent chapters address
factors in preparing administrator candidates effectively;
improving novice teacher retention through principal support and
mentoring; utilizing more fully mid-career teachers who come to
schools having worked outside of education; the role of isolation
in new principals' sense of efficacy; research findings about
assistant superintendents about job satisfaction, efficacy, and
ambitions for promotion; and finally, contemporary leadership
challenges existing at the superintendent level. Concluding with
thoughts about administrator accountability, the various chapters
offer contemporary views on the preparation, utilization, and
retention of school administrators throughout the life cycle. The
chapters provide needed insight into what should and must be done
to grow the best leaders for US schools.
This one-of-a-kind book takes readers beyond "thinking" about
school improvement to "leading" the process of creating excellent
learning environments. Beginning with fundamental principles of
school leadership for grades K-12, the book demonstrates how action
research and published studies can work hand-in-hand to explain the
nature of student achievement gaps and the reasons that underlie
them. Using examples from education leadership classrooms,
research, and practice, the authors bring to life the processes of
problem identification and diagnosis, developing solutions, and
project implementation and evaluation.
Renewed Accountability for Access and Excellence advances
discussion of a conceptualized model for cultivating democratic
professional practice in education (DPPE) and considers its
relationship with contemporary teaching and leading praxes. A
diverse and highly qualified group of scholars and practitioners
have contributed chapters relating to innovative programs,
co-constructed partnerships, empirical and teaching case studies,
and examples of practical applications of theory for advancing
teaching and leading. This single volume, a collection of works
arranged into a conceptualized model with application for practice,
is recommended as a resource for research libraries, a textbook in
programs of teacher and educational leadership preparation, and a
wellspring of knowledge and ideas for professional growth and
innovation for P-12 teachers and school leaders.
