Memoir and Perspectives of an
Urban Public School Principal on
Public Education Reform
A Primer on School Leadership
and
Public Schools Advocacy
Book Summary
The book contributes to the national discourse on public education. It develops the reader's perspective in a framework defined by the state constitutional mandate to educate our youth as a compelling state interest, the public's trust, prevailing myths imbedded in education issues, and the public education bureaucracy as an agent of state government. The impact of the bureaucracy, labor management agreements, and certification programs on school leadership and classroom teaching is illuminated by analysis, argument, and practical experience. The book concludes with recommendations for reform and an appeal for broad support of our public schools.
