| Summary: | "The increased focus on raising standards requires leaders to engage in complex decision-making, related to the assessment of teachers, meeting mandated accountability measures, and collecting and using large amounts of data. Showcasing exemplary practices of school administrators, Decision-Making in Educational Leadership covers issues concerning the role of emotion, ethical and legal ramifications, the use of data, and the complexity in decision-making. Chapters in this research-based volume explore robust descriptions of what administrators and school leaders actually know about educational problems, how they draw upon and revise theories of action for responding to problems, and which theories are tenable in educational decision-making. This important resource provides a broader, more international perspective on effective models and methods of educational decision-making and shares valuable knowledge about how theory can be translated into practice in a variety of locations and settings"-- |
