The Politics of Leadership: Superintendents and School Boards

The Politics of Leadership: Superintendents and School Boards in Changing Times (Educational Policy in the 21st Century: Opportunities, Challenges and Solutions)
- Used Book in Good Condition
The primary contribution of this book, is not its advocacy of a specific position but rather, its objective analysis of cogent topics. The content prompts us to consider governance in relation to quality education and to ponder alternative policy strategies that have yet to be fully evaluated. As a young doctoral student more than a few years ago, William Van Til, an eminent scholar and a mentor, reminded me almost daily that members of the education profession had a moral responsibility to address the most difficult questions about education and democracy. These enduring queries, he argued, extended to determining how this critical social service should be organized and controlled and to determining the appropriate roles for administrators and teachers. Those in our profession who fail to heed his advice by remaining indifferent to these philosophical dilemmas should consider Plato's long-standing warning: â€œOne of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors."
