Finding, Preparing, and Supporting School

With dwindling funds and resources, tougher state and federal standards, and fatigue from more regulations and testing, many school administrators are giving up or crashing and leaving their posts. This book examines the process of preparing, encouraging, and retaining quality leaders at the school and district levels.
