Niemiec, Mary; Otte, George – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2010
Given the importance of administrative attention to blended learning, this article adumbrates the institutional benefits but also the institutional challenges of this integration of online and on-campus instruction.

This paper examines the origins of the one-university…

Vranish, Paul L. – School Administrator, 2011
The evaluation of a superintendent is often a stressful, unpleasant experience for both the superintendent and the members of the school board. Typical board trustees have little experience in evaluating CEOs. Worse yet, they are hamstrung by the limitations inherent to their roles. They lack the advantage of a day-to-day working relationship with…

Moos, Lejf – Scholar-Practitioner Quarterly, 2010
In order to be able to discuss, in meaningful ways, how school leaders should be educated one needs to sketch the context in which they are going to lead, that is the visions and purpose of education and the schooling, which is dominant in society.

Lugg, Catherine A. – Scholar-Practitioner Quarterly, 2010
Contemporary educational leaders should realize that America's political system of governance is not particularly democratic in the sense that the people rule.
