Présentation de l'éditeur :

Appropriate for courses in Introduction to Educational Administration, Principalship, Educational Leadership and Supervision.

This scholarly new text by well-known researchers explores leadership as it relates to today's trends toward school restructuring and the creation of environments that are empowering for both teachers and their students. Uniquely based on two studies of leadership in schools, the book presents a historical view of restructuring as a context for understanding the findings of actual in-school research conducted in twenty-six schools over a six year period.
