An Introduction to Educational Administration
by
Emil J. Haller & Kenneth A. Strike
An Introduction to Educational Administration is a comprehensive text on the social, legal, and ethical considerations in educational administration. In this classic text the authors have gone beyond presenting a simple collection of administrative incidents: instead they have used cases to provide a view of reality that shapes and directs the intellectual content of the book. Each chapter is introduced by a case that illustrates a common administrative problem. The authors have then added to the usual social science literature the relevant legal, ethical, and theoretical perspectives. Realistic case studies are analyzed and material relevant to solving real educational dilemmas and problems is included.
Major topical areas covered in this text include:
· intellectual freedom & administrative leadership
· equal opportunity & resource allocation
· democracy, decision making, & personnel
