Description
This book answers two basic questions for educational practitioners. The first is how educators may re-design an entire school system to perform at the highest optimum levels. The second - and no less important - is what exactly educational administrators may do not only to manage, but also to reward the performance that sustains those very improvements. This book should be of interest to the K-12 administrator, the teacher and school board member, the consultant, professors teaching topical courses, or any layperson interested in the issue of school improvement.
Reviews
Most superintendents and professors of educational administration will appreciate the author's description of how to move schools from being mechanistic organizations to knowledge-creating places. * School Administrator *
