商品簡介
Research on professional development indicates little correlation between spending and student achievement. Watkins and McCaw, both teachers of educational leadership at Western Illinois University, address important questions that administrators, school board members, and community stakeholders need to ask to ensure academic and fiscal accountability. Organized around essential questions on areas such as gifted and talented students, the library, school safety, and English-language learners, each chapter provides definitions, background information, reflective questions that support continuous improvement, and a list of possible data sets that the administrative team may need to supply to the public and the board. This format allows readers to select the most pertinent chapters. There is no subject index. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
