About the Book

This volume provides faculty, instructors and students of the superintendency with a collection of case studies that are research-based and developed by leading scholars in the field of educational leadership. The cases offer aspiring and practising administrators learning opportunities through case study analysis and problem-based learning to build and strengthen the requisite skills for effective school leadership. The cases are in-depth, varied in their approach and focus, and provide a complex array of political, economic and social issues. Each chapter presents realistic cases that call for careful critique and thoughtful problem-solving. Each of the ten cases calls on the reader to integrate professional knowledge, skills and dispositions in ways that strengthen individual capacities in effective superintendents.

Review :
Case studies collected here...give aspiring and practicing administrators insight on effective school leadership. Cases are in-depth and varied in their approach and focus, delving into an array of political, economic, and social issues facing school superintendents.... Rich in detail, the cases outline the complexity of seemingly simple issues, zeroing in on clarifying the superintendent's highest priorities and most critical responsibilities...Aspiring superintendents will benefit from reading and discussing the cases...However, the greatest value may be for practicing superintendents who could bring their own experience to bear on the cases....
