Educational Leadership: Perspectives on Preparation and Practice

Norris M. Haynes; Sousan Arafeh and Cynthia McDaniels

Educational Leadership: Perspectives on Preparation and Practice identifies core knowledge and skills that educational leaders should be exposed to during pre-service preparation and throughout in-service professional development. The contributors discuss established pedagogical and experiential learning models as well as provocative new paradigms of their own to help prepare leaders and reinforce leadership effectiveness. Implicit throughout the book are five key leadership themes: sensitivity to student development and learning; continual professional development; responsiveness to developmental, socio-cultural, and learning contexts; accepting accountability; and advancing the field. The contributors draw upon many collective years of experience as educators and supervisors of educational leaders to offer perspectives on the application and integration of core leadership principles in leadership preparation and practice.

This volume. . . .does have value for those who teach in other disciplines at the undergraduate or graduate level. I found the chapters on policy and balanced curriculum to be most helpful.
— Reflective Teaching


I have been an educator for all of my adult life. I have served in educational leadership positions for most of that time. Before now, I have not seen or read a book that is as authentically compelling, comprehensive, and inspirational from a leadership perspective as this book is. The contributors capture the true essence of educational leadership. They effectively describe and explain the importance of preparing educational leaders to serve effectively on the frontlines of educational change efforts and to improve educational experiences and outcomes for all children. I highly recommend this book as required reading for pre-service and in-service educational leaders, students, and professors of education, and all who are concerned with making sure that school districts and schools have competent and effective educational leadership.
