ReviewsThis giant tome--and it is a hefty one--takes a look at urban education leadership. Its articles by education experts tackle the tough questions facing principals in urban schools: poverty, white flight, social justice, activism, poor teacher quality, segregation, failed reform efforts, advocacy, education policy, global perspectives, and local and federal government influences. The array of scholars is wide, impressive, and long. It is a book for graduate educational leadership or a reference tool for education collections. The voices are critical, pensive, rabble-rousing...and, by and large, honest., The Handbook for Urban Education Leadership brings together pre-eminent scholars across a broad spectrum of fields including the social sciences, educational leadership, teacher education, and counseling to reflect on the most pressing issues affecting urban school leaders today. With this work, the editors have brought theoretical specificity and richness to the field of educational leadership in a way that has never been done before. The handbook will be a significant resource for the P-16 education community for many years to come., Urban educational spaces are facing new and complex challenges. The Handbook of Urban Educational Leadership provides a comprehensive treatment of key and critical topics that form a blueprint for identifying solutions. The courageous leaders, researchers, and vested stakeholders of these often under-funded knowledge centers will benefit greatly from this handbook., At a time when urban schools continue to change, it is refreshing to see a volume that explicitly addresses the unique features and challenges of urban school leadership. This handbook is recommended reading for anyone in leadership who is concerned about educational transformation in urban schools., This Handbook echoes the scholarly voices and perspectives of some of today's foremost thought leaders in urban education leadership. With a consistent and constructive eye on the field and informed by urban school leaders, the volume provides a distinctive and rare collective research effort at the intersection of urban education and leadership. This is a focused and well-edited collection that advances our understanding of the complex relationships between urban education and leadership--making a valuable contribution to the knowledge base. By coupling urban education with leadership, the editors (with contributors) assemble a useful body of scholarship with directives for practice. In turn, the literature in these respective fields are both advanced and challenged. , "This giant tome--and it is a hefty one--takes a look at urban education leadership.
