“I have generally been pleased with the content and flow of the text.  My graduate school administration students have consistently indicated that the text is readable for them. I have looked at others, but consider this text the best available for my needs”
William Durow, Creighton University
 
“The early Chapters get the students off to the right start by understanding the “big picture” of a district.  Chapters 6, 7, 8 are my favorites — they are real “eye openers” for future administrators as well as educators deciding to stay in the classroom”
Donna Towers, Lindenwood University
