A close reading of this book will let us know if a change is taking place in the quality of educational administration. Daniel E. Griffiths, Dean Emeritus, School of Education, New York University, from the Introduction What can we reasonably expect from national efforts to reform the practice of educational administration? This book examines whether recommendations made by the National Commission on Excellence in Educational Administration (NCEEA) in a report to the University Council on Educational Administration have been acted on.

They offer insights on how to: * Expand and focus the technical knowledge base of educational administration * Develop new and better ways to disseminate information on educational administration practice * Select students who show administrative talent for entrance into graduate programs * Increase resources available to schools and universities for selecting and educating administrators * Include teachers, parents, and community leaders in the university teaching process

Contemporary Challenges Confronting School Leaders is the eleventh in a series on research and theory dedicated to advancing our understanding of schools through empirical study and theoretical analysis. Consequently, the chapters include analyses that investigate relationships between school organizations and administrative practice that affect teacher and student effectiveness. This edition is organized around concepts that are significant to contemporary school leaders: student achievement and variables that contribute to it or influence achievement indirectly.

Divided into four parts, the book explores trust under the rubrics of learning, teaching, leading and bridging.The book proposes a variety of directions for future research. These include the simultaneous investigation of trust from the prospectives of various  trusters, and at both the individual and group levels, longitudinal research designs, and an elaboration of methods.
