One of the most widely read books in educational leadership, Educational Administration uses a systems perspective to synthesize the relevant theory and research on organizational behavior and focuses on understanding and applying theory to solve problems of practice. With each new edition, the latest research and theory are incorporated into the analysis of teaching, learning, and leading. Educational Administration helps future administrators understand the content and context of schools, remember key ideas and principles, and apply and practice those principles as they lead.
After hearing the rave reviews my friend had given this, I couldn't resist the temptation to read it myself. All I can say is WOW! I started reading before bed one night and became so enthralled that I couldn't put it down. I literally read through the night until I reached what was the most satisfying climax to the unpredictable twists and turns the author led me through. This was an absolute page turner! Five stars is not enough! Do yourself a favor and pick this tome up and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!
Your typical textbook. Can be a little dense at times but the information seems to be applicable and offers a strong theoretical and well researched base for the work.
