Announcing the Fourth Edition of SCHOOL LEADERSHIP
In June 2006, Corwin Press published the fourth edition of School Leadership:
Handbook for Excellence in Student Learning, edited by Stuart C. Smith and
Philip K. Piele, and with a Foreword by Joseph Murphy.
An important and trusted resource for 25 years, the fourth edition emphasizes
the school leader's role as champion of student learning. Integrating theory
and practice, the editors introduce school leadership from five perspectives:
the person, the values, the structure, the mission, and the skills.
"Finely crafted and beautifully written . . . the most comprehensive
and extensive treatment of the school leadership literature available to date."
--From the Foreword by Joseph Murphy
Updates include:
Expanded coverage of instructional leadership and the principal's
role in student learning
New chapters covering the principalship, accountability, effects of leadership,
distributed leadership, political leadership, and engaging the
public
New chapters on data-based decision making and allocation of human, financial,
and physical resources

Re-Release of a Classic Text on Research Methods
On Understanding Variables & Hypotheses in Scientific Research
W. W. Charters, Jr.
Foreword by Richard Schmuck
It is with great pleasure that UCEA republishes this ERIC classic. Charters
is the kind of teacher that is a doctoral student’s dream. He is not
only grounded in scientific research methods, but he writes and teaches with
clarity and insight, making the complex seem quite simple and the agonizing
seem rather enticing.
--Michelle Young, UCEA, 2006
For anyone doing empirical research today—be they graduate student,
beginning academic, or established scholar—this manual should be read
and reread again, and again, and again.
--Philip K. Piele, ERIC Clearinghouse
on Educational Management, 1992
