Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership and Organizational Behavior: Theory into Practice is an ideal resource for aspiring school leaders who wish to innovate, educate, and make a difference. From theory to practice, this book presents a readable, teachable, relevant, and timely look at educational leadership and organizational behavior aligned with the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) standards with a strong focus on how to translate the theory into practice. This highly accessible resource takes historical, contemporary, scholarly, and research-supported ideas about leadership in organizations (particularly schools) and shows their relevance in actual practice. Each chapter presents focus questions, realistic case studies, and case study questions, plus socially-mediated activities after each major concept, to guide readers as they explore the meaning and professional relevance of the leadership topics--and see how to apply those ideas to their actual work settings, now or in the future. Here, new ideas are tied to actual leadership behaviors through the case studies and personal experiences that the author relates, so readers get a firm understanding of the information and how to relate it to their own personal experiences or transfer it to new situations. The author addresses a number of "hot topics" in leadership to capture and keep the reader's interest.

Download or read book Educational Administration and Organizational Behavior written by E. Mark Hanson and published by Allyn & Bacon. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text makes a practical link between social science theory and the practice of leading educational systems. Hanson facilitates understanding of how educational organizations function as learning and socio-political systems, and then provides conceptual and analytical tools to facilitate real-world problem solving. Social and behavioral science frameworks are used to identify and explain three widely held perspectives on the administration of educational organizations: (1) the school as a bureaucratic system, (2) the school as a social system, and (3) the school as an open system. Specific chapters are dedicated to key topics such as communication, leadership, management styles, motivation, organizational memory and learning, educational marketing, institution theory, schools of choice (e.g., charter, voucher, home schooling), and educational change.--Publisher's description.
Download or read book Images of Schools written by Samuel B. Bacharach and published by Corwin. This book was released on 1995-03-21 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The editors maintain that the current debate over school restructuring is essentially a debate over which strategy of organizing will achieve the best results. Organizational theory suggests that there are two primary mechanisms that may be used in organizing behavior within an organization: the organization as a whole, and the specific roles within the organization. Following this logic, the book is divided into two parts. The authors in part one present various answers to the question, "What must be organized in schools?" These answers include the decision-making process, external political forces around ideologies and policies, the promotion of creativity and innovation, and the best compromise between mechanistic and organic structures, among others. In part two, the authors examine how roles in schools can function as modes of organizing behavior. They present various possibilities for reorganization and improvement - specifically for the roles of teachers and administrators. The ideas include organizing and evaluating the role of teachers based, at least partially, on student outcomes; reorganizing according to the actual work a teacher does, organizing around clear goals and the provision of adequate resources; organizing the role of administrator to provide leadership to the rest of the people in the school; and using research findings to fit a specific individual to the role of administrator.
