Editorial Reviews

Challenges school principles to consider the National Policy Board for Educational Administration's 21 Domains of Principal Performance in terms of the entire leadership performance of the school. Examines the role of the 21 Domains in the standards-based movement, and discusses recruitment, selection, and professional development of principals. Gives examples of how three principals moved their schools toward becoming true learning organizations based on democratic principles and that guarantee success for all students. Skrla teaches educational administration at Texas A&M University. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
