Principal Leadership by Elaine L. Wilmore Pdf

This book was written to address the new standards for the preparation and development of school principals, created jointly by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the Interstate School Leader Licensure Consortium (ISLLC). These standards, known as the Educational Leadership Constituent Council standards, are of critical importance in creating, nurturing, and sustaining a culture and climate that values the soul of the school within its political, social, economic, legal, and cultural context. The book is written within a context of tying the new standards to practical yet research-based applications for principals and others interested in school leadership. The book's format includes meeting the standards for the school learning community; creating, developing, and implementing school vision and culture; organizing learning-community resources; establishing collaborative partnerships within the school community; dealing with the dilemmas, politics, and professional development in school communities; and transforming the learning community. Each chapter includes easy-to-use learning tools that include "Activities for Professional Development" and reflective questions to help individuals, groups, or classes get the most from the book's practical and insightful format. (Contains 185 references.) (RT)

Encyclopedia of Education Economics and Finance by Dominic J. Brewer,Lawrence O. Picus Pdf

Economics can be a lens for understanding the behavior of schools, districts, states, and nations in meeting education needs of their populaces, as well as for understanding the individual decisions made by administrators, teachers, and students. Insights from economics help decision makers at the state level understand how to raise and distribute funds for public schools in an equitable manner for both schools and taxpayers. Economics also can assist researchers in analyzing effects of school spending and teacher compensation on student outcomes. And economics can provide important insights into public debates on issues such as whether to offer vouchers for subsidizing student attendance at private schools. This two-volume encyclopedia contains over 300 entries by experts in the field that cover these issues and more. Features: This work of 2 volumes (in both print and electronic formats) contains 300-350 signed entries by significant figures in the field. Entries conclude with cross-references and suggestions for further readings to guide students to in-depth resources. Although organized in A-to-Z fashion, a thematic "Reader’s Guide" in the front matter groups related entries by topic. Also in the front matter, a chronology provides students with historical perspective on the development of education economics and finance as a field of study The entire work concludes with a Resources appendix and a comprehensive Index. In the electronic version, the index, Reader′s Guide, and cross references combine to provide effective search-and-browse capabilities. Key Themes: Accountability and Education Policy Budgeting and Accounting in Education Finance Education Markets, Choice, and Incentives Equity and Adequacy in School Finance Financing of Higher Education Key Concepts in the Economics of Education Private and Social Returns to Human Capital Investments Production and Costs of Schooling Revenue and Aid for Schools Statistical Methods in the Economics of Education Teachers and Teacher Labor Markets
