Description
Research has shown that adult learners prefer a problem-solving, rather than a subject-centered approach to learning. Human Resource Management provides a nontraditional view of teaching and learning the basics of human resource management through a series of 125 in-basket exercises and guided questions. Exercises focus on current problems and issues that confront school administrators on a daily basis. A brief history of assessment centers and a synopsis of recognized adult-learning theories are also provided. This revised edition includes:
?in-basket exercises linked to ISLLC Standards
?updated "suggested readings"
?six new in-basket exercises
?an expanded list of online resources
Human Resource Management: A Problem-Solving Approach Linked to ISLLC Standards will have a positive impact on university courses in personnel administration, as well as professional development programs undertaken at the district level.

Reviews / Votes
What a wonderful tool for professional development or candidate screening. After serving 15 years as an urban school superintendent, I can attest this publication contains realistic examples that school administrators may face on any given work day. -- Richard J. Halik, Ph.D., superintendent emeritus, Lansing, Michigan Public Schools Human Resource Management will be a valuable addition to our training materials. This manual will also provide our trainers with an excellent support mechanism to enhance our ability to access and strengthen leadership capabilities. -- Bobbie D'Alessandro, former superintendent, Cambridge, Massachusetts Public Schools I highly recommend the Baker and Doran test to those interested in a hands-on problem solving approach to teaching human resource management in education. This text is filled with over 100 real-life in-basket problems that will give students an authentic sense of the personnel problems and issues in schools. -- Wayne K. Hoy, Fawcett Professor of educational administration, The Ohio State UniversityMore details
