商品簡介
Wepner (education, Manhattanville College) et al. help current and future school leaders in suburbs facing changes, as community demographics shift to include more diversity, adjust and accommodate the needs of an increasingly diverse student population, especially English language learners. They offer ideas and strategies for addressing the changing culture and for working with teachers, parents, and students, and discuss leadership practices for forming partnerships and developing community schools to help teachers develop professionally and help students achieve. They discuss the changing suburbs and the role of school leaders, including demographics and implications and how to meet the needs of the community in light of national, state, and local mandates, and outline ideas for modifying the culture of the school, including programs for diverse student populations and forming school-university collaborations.
