While leadership in rural settings is as diverse as the communities being served, what seems to be lacking is research focused on combining best or emerging practices and/or models of collective intellectual inquiry addressing leadership in rural PK-12 settings. The chapters within the book are intentionally focused on areas of key understandings designed to guide the intentional educator toward the ultimate goal of ensuring that all students, regardless of circumstance, encounter quality educational experiences during their preparatory years. Therefore, the purpose of this book is to present a compelling case toward building capacity for school leadership and social change in rural settings by placing emphasis on areas of challenge as denoted in empirical evidence and practitioner experience.

Here's a free EPUB reader for Google Chrome
Within this updated text, the authors outline, in detail, the concepts and ideas of quality management and how to implement these principles in an educational setting. Although these concepts may seem complicated at first, once understood, they can be a powerful tool for school leaders to shape their culture and realize real and lasting improvement. The concepts of Lean and Six Sigma do not suggest a different approach to education or go about public schools differently. The fundamental aspect of a public education system, established in each state’s constitution, is sound: to support a state-sponsored funding mechanism that allows for a network of educational organizations to operate. However, what is being presented here is that each educational organization, whether it be at the state, regional, or local levels, can benefit from a more intentional approach to how it’s structured and works to fulfill its mission and vision. This book provides a platform to support school leaders, so the school doesn’t just respond to internal and external pressures and challenges, but meets the needs of all students, prepares them for successful futures, and are good stewards of tax dollars. School boards, school leaders, teachers, and the communities, will significantly benefit from the techniques within a quality management approach, but more importantly, their students will benefit.

A Beginner’s Guide to Increasing Student Engagement through Technology (eBook)
It is indisputable that student learning and cognition increases when student engagement is maximized. The more students are engaged and the more teachers can determine the true level of engagement and understanding occurring in a lesson, the higher the academic outcomes. This book proposes simple methods for integrating technology into teaching pedagogy and creating a student-centered, collaborative, differentiated, constructivist classroom environment. The book is designed with lessons that are intentionally generic because we want teachers to focus on the possibilities and adaptability of the lessons and not on the specifics of the lessons themselves.

The purpose of this handbook is to help those interested in public education in Michigan gain an understanding of the system currently used to generate revenue for the support of Michigan’s public schools. In addition to describing where the dollars come from, it will also describe the basis on which dollars are distributed to each school district. Such a description would not be complete if it did not also include a discussion of some of the public policy questions that give rise to both support and criticism of the current system. To that end this handbook will briefly describe past problems, how they have been addressed, and what problems still remain.

Critical Social Justice Issues for School Practitioners (eBook)
Editors: Sandra Harris and Stacey Edmonson
Publication Date: 2013
This project was borne of a desire to support these scholar-practitioner leaders. We invited educational leaders to share recent studies which brought issues of social justice to the fore. Certainly, the 20 papers that were accepted as chapters for this book do not address all of the problems with which educators are faced. Nor do the 20 chapters provide definitive answers to these difficult issues. However, they do provide valuable information and ensure that thoughtful, reflective dialogue is occurring regarding critical social justice understandings or misunderstandings.

Authentic Quantitative Analysis for Education Leadership Decision-Making and EdD Dissertations: A Practical, Intuitive, and Intelligible Approach Edition 3.1 (eBook)
by Stanley Pogrow
To purchase the PRINT version (via Lulu) please click HERE
Print version is $49.00, the printed version is recommended.
Major update (Version 3.1)! It is time to reform the teaching of quantitative methods in EdD programs. This textbook represents a major redesign of what it means to teach quantitative methods in (specifically) EdD programs. This edition is a major update of this popular textbook. It is the first textbook designed from the ground up from the perspective and needs of leaders as opposed to statisticians.
This textbook emphasizes the newest quantitative methods, such as improvement science and alternative measures of statistical outcomes such as practical benefit that better predict real world effects, and using data to design interventions and support continuous improvement efforts that better meet Leaders’ needs. These newer methods not only enable students to produce a quality applied dissertation, they are also relevant to students’ everyday practice as leaders.
These newer methods are more intuitive, accessible, and innovative—and are designed from the ground up to support leadership decision-making. For example, students are quickly enabled to use simple numerical analysis to critique the most mathematically sophisticated published research in terms of its likely practical benefit for their schools. The most fundamental statistics become the most powerful and useful.
This textbook is written from an applied, pragmatic, and concise perspective based on the author's experience as a methodology professor, successful national reformer, and top ranked scholar in educational leadership. It provides a cohesive, integrated, approach to (a) consuming and applying research evidence, (b) developing a rigorous EdD dissertation, and (c) conducting a scholarly literature review. Thus, this textbook not only replaces a very expensive statistics text, it is also a one-stop shopping source for supporting the practitioner-scholar-researcher nexus in any EdD program.
Students are enabled to identify the subset of research evidence and “evidence-based” practices that are likely to produce noticeable improvements and increases in equity in their schools—a primary need given the growing evidence that the overly complex traditional statistical methods do NOT accurately predict effectiveness in the chaotic real world practice of schools. So why continue to focus on them?
Previous versions of this textbook dramatically increased EdD students’ interest and expertise in the application of quantitative methods for research and practice. This major update builds on this earlier experience and promises to make the quantitative methods course one of the most interesting and relevant for students.

So, You Have to Write a Dissertation, Do You? (eBook)
John Slate, George Moore, & Wally Barnes
The idea of conducting a research investigation and then turning that investigation into a doctoral dissertation can sometimes generate anxiety. In this book, we take students through the dissertation process, from the dissertation proposal through a completed doctoral dissertation. The components of the dissertation proposal and of the dissertation itself are examined, with respect to scholarly writing, APA compliance, and formatting. Practical and detailed suggestions are provided, along with exemplars for each of the major sections of Chapter I. We cover, in our book, the traditional dissertation, the journal-ready dissertation, and the capstone. As such, the majority of dissertation types which educational leadership doctoral programs use are covered in this book.

Dr. English believes we, the educational leaders, must through the force of our voices, scholarship, teaching, service and research, identify the neoliberal agendas and self-interests found in their proposals for reform and call them out. He asks us to be brave and vigorously describe the horrific effects of what I term anti-educationists reform prophets.
We are living through the time when public education as we have known it in America will be forever transformed unless concerted action is undertaken to reverse the trends described in this book. If nothing is done to stop these trends there will be no going back. The great American dream for a common school which would serve all the children of all the people under the umbrella of fostering the common good will vanish forever.
These were the schools in which I was educated and my mother and father worked as public school teachers. They were the schools my own children and grandchildren enjoyed. Our grand children may be the last generation to experience the fruits of Horace Mann’s hard fought legacy when he said toward the end of his struggle for public education, “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity” (Messerli, 1971, p. 549.) It is Mann’s admonition that has prompted this book as my NCPEA Living Legend Award speech for 2013.

Let's Share Our Ideas About Educational Leadership (eBook)
Louis Wildman
This text offers a practitioner, scholar, or even a casual observer of educational administration a tremendous insight into our world. Author Louis Wildman writes for the educational leader who wishes to understand more clearly and think more deeply about his/her profession.
I begin all of the courses I teach by setting forth my basic beliefs about educational leadership, so that my students will understand my perspective. Educators have an ethical obligation to make their position known so that students can agree or disagree. The problem with doing this is that students may get the idea that they should adopt their instructor’s beliefs to pass. But I quickly try to assure students that while I want them to understand my perspective, I also want them to develop their own beliefs after considering alternatives. Likewise, I hope you will use this book to re-consider and then share your ideas about educational leadership.

Using Microsoft Excel for those who work in our nation’s schools - superintendents, principals, curriculum coordinators, teachers, etc., are inundated with a multitude of data from a number of different sources each and every day of the school year. Having taught computer applications and educational research to aspiring school leaders for a number of years, we have found that the old adage “learning by doing” is the best way to learn this material. Many action research projects require the collection, tabulation, and analysis of data. Assisting the school administrators with these tasks is primarily what this book is about. Researchers utilize powerful tools such as SPSS to assist them in these tasks. However, we have found that such programs are not readily available to the school administrator and, even if they are, the skills to effectively utilize them have not been mastered. Therefore, we have based this book on the utilization of the much more familiar application, Microsoft Excel.
