<br/><br/> This book focuses on the skills, training, values, and assumptions that principals and assistant principals employ as leaders and reformers. This text views administrators more broadly as transformational leaders who include the entire school community in reform. Scenarios and activities are used to provide a bridge from learning the theory of school administration to the practical problem solving in which school leaders engage.
