This book presents management strategies intended to help educational administrators bring about substantive improvements in their schools. The authors outline specific procedures and practical instruments designed to enable administrators to define districtwide or school wide programs, to organize such programs, to identify specific problems and determine priorities for action, to gather support for change efforts, to acquire necessary leadership skills, and to plan and manage specific school improvement programs. The procedures and instruments described may apply to administrators at any educational or administrative level; included throughout the book are examples of ways administrators have adopted these instruments and procedures to fit their individual situations.
