Description
This volume provides faculty, instructors and students of the superintendency with a collection of case studies that are research-based and developed by leading scholars in the field of educational leadership. The cases offer aspiring and practising administrators learning opportunities through case study analysis and problem-based learning to build and strengthen the requisite skills for effective school leadership. The cases are in-depth, varied in their approach and focus, and provide a complex array of political, economic and social issues. Each chapter presents realistic cases that call for careful critique and thoughtful problem-solving. Each of the ten cases calls on the reader to integrate professional knowledge, skills and dispositions in ways that strengthen individual capacities in effective superintendents.
