Elementary School Principals in Action
Rowman & Littlefield (Verlag)
978-1-4758-3640-0 (ISBN)
The case studies in this book can be a powerful tool for learning school leadership. It gives readers the opportunity to gain experience making decisions in the face of uncertainty, much as they will have to do every day when they are in the field or when they are ready to work in their chosen field.
The result of candid interviews with school officials in America’s public schools, school improvement organizations, city and state departments of education, the case studies in this book explore complex issues in school leadership from school budget management to navigating parental concerns in the social media age.
Each case study tells a detailed story which stops mid-action, asking the reader to imagine themselves into the shoes of a decision-maker facing a tough choice. As a result of these case studies classroom discussions are lively, and most important, there isn’t a single right answer. Readers practice taking positions and defending them based on the available evidence, while developing communication and critical thinking skills. This book is a must read for any emerging school leader.
Wafa Hozien, Ph.D. is an emerging scholar when it comes to school leadership preparation. She has published many articles and books on effective education administration practices. Dr. Hozien teaches in the school superintendent/principalship program at Central Michigan University in the Department of Educational Leadership.
