Description
Parents have questions for school administrators. They want to know how they hire teachers, erect facilities, select learning materials, protect students, allocate budgets, use data, make forecasts, measure progress, and compete with for-profit schools. This book examines the questions they pose, the answers they elicit, the allies they attract, the adversaries they arouse, and the improvements they prod.

Common Sense Questions About School Administration has the uncanny ability to speak directly to a vast audience of teacher leaders, school principals, school counselors, superintendents, and especially to those who teach future school leaders and counselors. Commonsense is also no-nonsense in dispelling myths and answering those infrequently-discussed questions in the minds of current and aspiring school leaders. The mix of present-day concerns of educational leaders, thought-provoking questions, practical case studies, and evidence-based solutions provides an engaging look at school administration in today’s schools. Dr. Giordano is an expert in his field, and I would not hesitate in recommending this work for current and future school leaders.
