Principles of school administration

About this book

The fundamental rationale of this book is that (1) the culture has a series of definable sanctions, (2) these sanctions have reasonable bases and when stated as principles are dimensions of goodness in action, (3) these principles can be a series of tests to decide whether or not a proposed act will be wise actions, and (4) such principles can have specific application in illuminating and making rational the subject matter of professional training for school administration. Each principle is introduced, defined, elaborated on and illustrated, such that the student confronts a minimum list of considerations that must be weighed in making balanced judgments. Principles and technical aspects of administration are mutually supporting, and this book presents a set of these that have proved useful in practice.
