The 16 articles in this collection discuss the professional negotiation movement and its implications for principals. Included are a series of articles from The National Elementary Principal that deal with trends in professional negotiation and the principals' role. The collection is directed toward principals with the stated aims of: (1) increasing their understanding of the negotiation movement, (2) providing them with thoughtful guidelines and specific techniques useful in negotiations, and (3) encouraging them to explore different patterns of administration and decision making. Appendices contain (1) a glossary of terms used in the analysis of negotiation and (2) sample contracts--one between a school district and a teachers' association, the other between a city board of education and a city association of administrators and supervisors.
