Bøker av Dan C. Lortie

Paints a portrait of what principals do, how they do it, and why. This title offers an analysis of issues and trends in education, including the presence of women in the role and the effects of widespread testing mandated by the government. It begins with a brief history of the job before turning to the daily work of a principal.

This new edition of Lortie's classic work includes a new preface bringing the author's observations up to date. His study of the profession is more than a social portrait, it is also a view into the world and culture of a vitally important profession.
