GenX School Leaders sheds light on the careers, lives, leadership, motivation and aspirations of a new generation of education leaders. In many large urban centers, GenX leaders are stepping into senior school leadership roles in greater numbers---having a potentially profound impact on the next three decades of educational practice and school reform in cities around the globe. Karen Edge underscores the importance of understanding this shift in generational influence, by offering and in-depth, exciting and thought-provoking analysis of the five big issues facing GenX school leaders, as well as suggestions for concrete policy and practice strategies related to their recruitment, development, and retention.
