Practical and highly applicable, the third edition ofA Casebook for School Leadersoffers those pursuing a career in educational administration the opportunity learn a uniform framework for analyzing and resolving a large variety of school cases. This book examines 44 cases that represent real-life situations in todayrs"s schools, with issues and topics ranging from the separation of church and state, personal leadership development, theNo Child Left Behind Act, fundraising, and leadership attributes.
