Educational Administration: Theory, Research, and Practice
One of the most widely read books in educational leadership, Educational Administration uses a systems perspective to synthesize the relevant theory and research on organizational behavior and focuses on understanding and applying theory to solve problems of practice. With each new edition, the latest research and theory are incorporated into the analysis of teaching, learning, and leading. Educational Administration helps future administrators understand the content and context of schools, remember key ideas and principles, and apply and practice those principles as they lead.

This book series on Theory and Research in Educational Administration is about understanding schools. We welcome articles and analyses that explain school organizations and administration.

We provide the space for authors to do comprehensive analyses where that is appropriate and useful. We believe that the Theory and Research in Educational Administration Series has the potential to make an important contribution to our field, but we will be successful only if our colleagues continue to join us in this mission.
Institutionalized Learning in America
Despite the vast amount of research on teaching, very little of it has related overall theoretical perspectives to general principles of teaching and instruction.

No one set of strategies or methods is offered, providing the reader with the opportunity to select from many different approaches. The book is divided int...

Do high-stakes accountability environments threaten the potential of learning orga...
