Synopsis

This is an introduction to education administration that emphasizes both the environment of administration and the function of administrators. A useful source for educators preparing to enter school administration, the book describes the structure and function of American education, governance, finance, politics and law. In addition, Guthrie and Reed's text provides readers with techniques for enhancing their communication skills, professional demeanour, and management abilities. To help prepare those entering educational administration, the book guides readers in boosting their communication skills, professional demeanour, decision-making abilities, management finesse, and ability to handle change; offers explanations of school governance, finance, and policy processes; and presents a comprehensive set of footnotes for research reference. The second edition devotes an entire section to the crucial topic of educational leadership. Chapter 1 introduces the student to the role of an educational executive and the importance of leadership in that role. Chapter 10 helps the student develop leadership qualities and behaviour. Chapter 16 shows how to apply strategic leadership to non-instructional situations. Also a new chapter has been added on budgeting which incorporates the latest developments in state finance and budgeting. All legal citations from the earlier edition have been brought up to date.
