School Leadership and Administration: Important Concepts, Cases Studies, and Simulations, helps principals, administrators, and supervisors develop and improve their leadership skills with case studies and simulations. Part I presents concepts and research findings. Part II includes over 60 case studies, simulations, and suggested learning activities to put learning into action and prompt discussion. Since the text focuses on leadership, its principles may be applied in areas such as higher education administration, military educational training programs, agency management, and government services administration. There are Boxed features (Window on Diversity, Research Spotlight) and activities throughout the text that complement the content of each chapter.
