| Abstract
|
:
|
"This book, the product of the task force on research co-sponsored by the American Educational Research Association Division A and the University Council for Educational Administration, sets an ambitious agenda for research in educational leadership. Prominent scholars in the field review current knowledge about leadership, frame new questions to generate important research in the field, and direct researchers and policymakers to rethink how educational administration, leadership, and policy should be understood.
