Managing Today’s Schools: New Skills for School Leaders in the 21st Century provides timely reflection about the nexus between management and leadership. As schools continue to support children and families in an ever-evolving society, school leaders must have the managerial skills necessary to help teachers pivot in real time. In this book, Glanz and colleagues address changing demographics, applying technology to pedagogical practices, increasing teacher leadership, shifting organizational structures to update how teacher evaluations are used, and addressing legal and financial issues schools must face to provide equitable education. These concepts help both practitioners and educational leadership preparation programs close the theory-practice gap we so often see plague the education profession.
