Supervision
The first edition of this book, titled A DESIGN FOR INSTRUCTIONAL SUPERVISION, provided a structural framework for an effective program of instructional supervision.

The Principalship
In this book, Rossow and Warner incorporate the best of all the advances in the theories and developments in the field on study devoted to the principalship since 1990. Although the titles to the eleven chapters remain the same as those found in the first edition, much has changed. Since many areas addressed in the first edition are nearly timeless, some topics are presented again. One of the basic premises in the first edition came from a clear change in the direction the principalship was taking in the late 1980s and early 1990s. There was a movement away from principal as manager -- of people and a building -- to principal as instructional leader. Unlike a number of movements in education which turn out to be merely "fads," there has been no change in this direction for principalship. The literature and the training for future principals continues to capture the concept that principals must be instructional leaders while attending to the safety of students and teachers. This book will assist those responsible for the education of principals, as well as help those already in the field become updated on the newest advances in the discipline.
The New Normal in Education
This book explores teaching, learning, and leadership in higher education following the Covid-19 pandemic. It examines opportunities that currently exist within higher education as they relate to innovative teaching and learning strategies, from instructional modalities to new models of transformative learning to meet students “where they are” in terms of career development and lifelong learning. Emphasis is placed on educational leadership and management skills, faculty and teaching acumen, and students and their quest for knowledge and understanding as we navigate past a global health crisis towards a future of hope and solutions to some of today’s most pressing issues using collaboration, community, and an inquiry-oriented approach. The current state of education is reimagined with emphasis on higher education as a learning organization. A sense of urgency in higher education is underscored to instill knowledge and competency, encourage innovation, and help the next generation of students flourish in an evolving and changing world with resilience, optimism, and creativity that will yield real solutions to some of the world’s most prevalent and challenging issues.
