A close reading of this book will let us know if a change is taking place in the quality of educational administration. Daniel E. Griffiths, Dean Emeritus, School of Education, New York University, from the Introduction What can we reasonably expect from national efforts to reform the practice of educational administration? This book examines whether recommendations made by the National Commission on Excellence in Educational Administration (NCEEA) in a report to the University Council on Educational Administration have been acted on. It then discusses the most significant initiatives of the past 10 years. Contributors explore what kinds of changes have been and are occurring. They offer insights on how to: * Expand and focus the technical knowledge base of educational administration * Develop new and better ways to disseminate information on educational administration practice * Select students who show administrative talent for entrance into graduate programs * Increase resources available to schools and universities for selecting and educating administrators * Include teachers, parents, and community leaders in the university teaching process
