School Administration and Management

The Many changes which have taken place in educational thought and practice in the past few decades have had considerable effect on school administration. The increasing size of the educational enterprise, the sharp upgrading in the qualifications of teachers, and broadened concepts of the role of leadership are a few of the forces which are causing a newer definition of the administrative function, and a re-thinking of the role of the principal in the elementary school. This book is directed toward an autience of students in organizational theory and problem analysis classes, and their professors, as well as to school administrators seeking to examine their problems and policies from perspectives that go beyond their own personal experience.
