商品簡介
Originating in discussions among educational leadership scholars whose university programs serve small and mid-sized districts, this book project represents the collective voice speaking to a diverse set of leadership issues that are framed uniquely in small-to mid-sized districts. Sutherland, Sanzo, and Scribner aim to spark greater interest in research and funding for small and mid-sized urban districts, and a greater appreciation of the value of connecting with the needs and nuances of communities. Twelve chapters are: large and small urban school districts; leadership preparation in small and mid-sized urban school districts; working conditions and retention of principals in small and mid-sized urban districts; principals’ and teachers’ decision making power in small, medium, and large school districts; teaching students in poverty in small and mid-sized urban school districts; leadership for English learners; engaging Latino parents in the middle; instructional leadership for special education in small to mid-size urban school districts; prekindergarten interventions and instructional leadership in small and mid-sized urban school districts; executive coaching of school leaders in a mid-sized urban school district; educational leadership in medium and small urban districts serving the new mainstream; a look into the workings of data use in a mid-sized district.
