Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book does exactly what its title suggests: it takes the theoretical and conceptual nature of leadership and positions it in the real world of school governance--where teachers, administrators and community stakeholders grapple with issues of change, diversity, influence, motivation, policy, and law.>Organized around the widely accepted Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) Standards, Theory into Practice: Case Stories for School Leaders offers a rich combination of current literature on educational leadership, real-life school-based situations, and a framework for decision-making.Designed for both current and aspiring school leaders, this book provides the perfect complement to coursework and clinical experiences by offering case stories at all levels: from teacher leader, to building leader, to district leader. The case story format enables readers to experience a wide range of school-based issues from a variety of perspectives. Through this construct, the authors present a strong case for reflective leadership and thoughtful decision-making.Given the current climate of standards, standardization, and hyper-accountability in education, this book reminds readers that education--and educational leadership--remains an intensely human experience.
