The Jossey-Bass Reader on Educational Leadership (Jossey-Bass Teacher)

The Jossey-Bass Reader on Educational Leadership (Jossey-Bass Teacher) is very well written. I found the Jossey-Bass Reader easy to read and understand; and quite enjoyable. This is a book that I will keep as a reference for future use. I would recommend this book to any student taking a Educational Leadership program.

Great value, important insight.

Excellent book that provides summaries of other books in the Ed Leadership domain. This book contains summaries of about 15 books...easy reading, quick reference.

Succinct, all-in-one

Once again Jossey-Bass did it with this reader. From the opening stanza relating universal leadership to the particulars of the industry of education, to what the future of educational leadership may hold, this collection of essays, insights and overviews takes either the graduate student or the neophyte dabbler on a roundhouse roundup of every imaginable facet of the issues facing societal gestational institutions. Well worth the cost, plus.

highly useful

This book was required for an educational leadership class and I have found it to be very useful. The articles are well organized and contain relevant info and authors (Fullan, Singhe, etc.) I'm happy to report that I just found it I'll be using it again in a second class this fall.
