What does research tell us about the effects of school leadership
on student achievement? What specific leadership practices make a
real difference in school effectiveness? How should school leaders
use these practices in their day-to-day management of schools and
during the stressful times that accompany major change initiatives?
Robert J. Marzano, Timothy Waters, and Brian A. McNulty provide
answers to these and other questions in School Leadership That
Works. Based on their analysis of 69 studies conducted since 1970
that met their selection criteria and a recent survey of more than
650 building principals, the authors have developed a list of 21
leadership responsibilities that have a significant effect on
student achievement. Readers will learn: The specific behaviors
associated with the 21 leadership responsibilities. The difference
between first-order change and second-order change and the
leadership responsibilities that are most important for each. How
to work smart by choosing the right work to focus on to improve
student achievement. The advantages and disadvantages of
comprehensive school reform models for improving student
achievement. How to develop a site-specific approach to improving
student achievement, using a framework of 11 factors and 39 action
steps. A five-step plan for effective school leadership. Combining
rigorous research with practical advice, School Leadership That
Works gives school administrators the guidance they need to provide
strong leadership for better schools.
The Milo%sevi'c Trial - An Autopsy provides a cross-disciplinary
examination of one of the most controversial war crimes trials of
the modern era and its contested legacy for the growing fields of
international criminal law and post-conflict justice.
The international trial of Slobodan Milo%sevi'c, who presided over
the violent collapse of Yugoslavia - was already among the longest
war crimes trials when Milo%sevi'c died in 2006. Yet precisely
because it ended without judgment, its significance and legacy are
specially contested. The contributors to this volume, including
trial participants, area specialists, and international law
scholars bring a variety of perspectives as they examine the
meaning of the trial's termination and its implications for
post-conflict justice. The book's approach is intensively
cross-disciplinary, weighing the implications for law, politics,
and society that modern war crimes trials create.
The time for such an examination is fitting, with the imminent
closing of the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal and rising debates over
its legacy, as well as the 20th anniversary of the outbreak of the
Yugoslav conflict. The Milo%sevi'c Trial - An Autopsy brings
thought-provoking insights into the impact of war crimes trials on
post-conflict justice.
