About this title

Synopsis

The eleventh annual NCPEA yearbook examines the pressing issues facing today's educational leaders from a variety of philosophical perspectives. Leadership transformation, post-behavioral science and its relationship to educational leadership, leadership and social justice, and leadership preparedness and practice are among the topics discussed in the 29 essays. This divergent dialogue speaks to professors of educational administration, superintendents, principals, and others engaged in this changing and challenging field.
