Sommaire:
By Benjamin Piltch and Terrence Quinn...

One of the most common criticisms of administrative preparation programs is that they lack reality. What potential administrators want and need are authentic leadership strategies. This book of 'real world' case studies is exactly what my students need. These highly successful principals are not just spouting theory they are drawing upon their extensive administrative experience. Current and future school leaders will reap the rewards this material has in store for them.--Rodney Davis
