The primary focus of the book is to emphasize the major changes in the leadership responsibilities of directors of human resources in education. This purpose underscores the necessity for human resources directors to gain new knowledge and skills in order to assure that the personnel concept is considered in all school district policy and administrative program decisions. The primary processes of the human resources function remain significant, but the function’s importance is continually increasing as new and innovative changes and research findings are evidenced in education.
Personnel recruitment, for example, now necessitates primary attention to re-recruitment. Innovation in mentoring activities now includes reverse mentoring, peer mentoring and group mentoring. Metrics now loom important and necessary in program planning, accountability and assessment activities. The knowledge and skills required for new innovations in personnel were not always available in the program preparations of individuals who focused on preparation for general school administration. This book serve to serve practicing human resources directors and others that will serve the personnel function in the school principalship and other administrative roles to understand and meet the demands of today’s human resources goals and objectives.

Jenna Moffitt, Director of Human Resources, Deer Valley Unified School District, Phoenix, Arizona
As a practicing human resources director, I am always looking for ways to improve how we can support our staff, students, and the school district as a whole. Guiding the school district’s human resources function requires a roadmap to assist the HR director and the department in assuring that the necessary support services are in place. Dr. Norton’s book provides this important service. In addition, with the increasing demands being placed upon the school districts’ human resources directors nationally, Dr. Norton’s book provides new ideas and strategies for meeting the ongoing challenges. Every human resources administrator should have this book at their fingertips as it will serve them as a highly valuable resource.
