Edufantasy: Educational Administration Today. Book Review.

Kymlicka, B. B.

Canadian Journal of Education, v21 n3 p333-40 Sum 1996

These two books take a similar approach to educational administration in asserting that good administration is a matter of philosophy. The philosophies they support are quite different, however, with "Outstanding School Administrators" taking a business management approach and "Leadership for the Schoolhouse" accepting a communitarian philosophy.
