 Easy read June 9, 2008

Very easy to read. Very practical knowledge. The author's bias or opinion tends to wear through frequently, but easily digestible information for a textbook.

This text provides insightful and hands-on material for the prospective educational administrator. The book will challenge the reader to lead with vision, dismissing perceptions of old of the autocratic supervisor. Instead, the reader with an open mind will be inspired to lead with conviction, incorporating the ideal of collaborating with fellow professionals to improve student learning through improved instruction and assessment. With its end-of-the-chapter practicioner reflection and varied exercises, this text provides a personal and practical mean by which the reader will be able to relate, reflect and practice thier newfound ideas and perceptions for school leadership.

The book is pretty good. I only got it for a class. It seems to really uphold democratic ideals, and talks a lot about moulding students to also uphold them.
