Beskrivning

Successful principals today need skills in both management and leadership because both are essential to achieve success in all facets of running a school—one is not necessarily more important than the other. However, there are not many books solely devoted to school management. Most work on school management is part of larger works on school administration. Managing Today’s Schools: New Skills for School Leaders in the 21st Century is unique in that the focus on managerially operating a school does not hinder discussion on the interconnectedness between management and leadership. Additionally, emphasis is placed on 21st- century cutting-edge ideas about school management. Each chapter includes case study-type scenarios with thought-provoking questions that simultaneously summarize the chapter while also helping readers think about the ways they might put the ideas of the chapter into practice.

Recensioner i media

Managing Today’s Schools: New Skills for School Leaders in the 21st Century provides timely reflection about the nexus between management and leadership. As schools continue to support children and families in an ever-evolving society, school leaders must have the managerial skills necessary to help teachers pivot in real time. In this book, Glanz and colleagues address changing demographics, applying technology to pedagogical practices, increasing teacher leadership, shifting organizational structures to update how teacher evaluations are used, and addressing legal and financial issues schools must face to provide equitable education. These concepts help both practitioners and educational leadership preparation programs close the theory-practice gap we so often see plague the education profession.
