Summary

The public expects its schools to meet high academic standards. This is a practical leadership book written specifically for key educational leaders, especially principals, superintendents, or other members of the school's leadership team. The challenge of standards-based schools (SBS) is described, and an emerging theory of leadership describes how to set up the eight basic structures of an SBS.
