This self-help book introduces a number of scenarios that incorporate the behaviors supported by the ISLLC Standards. Its effective case scenario approach prepares prospective school leaders to address actual school challenges that occur on a daily basis. In addition, it familiarizes readers with the ISSLC Standards and enables them to conduct a self-assessment relative to meeting those standards. Unlike similar texts, the author provides responses to difficult and challenging issues that are grounded in theory and supported by best practice. This enables learners to examine, compare, and make decisions about well-documented responses and in turn, apply their own ideas. Chapter topics include Leadership in Today"s Schools, Organizational Influences on Leadership, Communication in Today"s Schools, Decision-Making: Quality and Acceptance, Managing Conflict in Today"s Schools, and Facilitating Change in Schools. For education professionals preparing for leadership roles.
