Abstract:
An objective discussion of educational leadership from both inside and outside the school system, focusing on ethical issues, dominant models, and today's unprecedented commitment to community involvement. What style of leadership do we want for our schools? Corporate? Bureaucratic? Collaborative? How we answer this question determines not only what kind of citizens our schools produce, but how our society will address issues of class, gender, race, ethnicity, and religion.
