5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Theory...Especially For Early Childhood Professionals,
By
This review is from: Educational Administration: Theory, Research, and Practice (Paperback)
Even though it falls a bit short in a lot of practical application, Hoy & Miskel do a superb job in outlining just about every possible ed admin theory that is relevant in educationa entities today.
The top sections of this book that are DEFINITELY worth reading are Chapter 10's discussion on shared decision-making, Chapter 12's discussion on leadership, Chapter 4's discussion on what motivates individuals, and Chapter 5's section on climate & culture. I recommend this book and along with Caruso & Fawcett's SUPERVISION IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION: A DEVELOPMENTAL PERSPECTIVE.

This review is from: Educational Administration: Theory, Research, and Practice (Paperback)
This is the end of the 6th week of the fall quarter yet the book has never reached me! I am supposed to turn in a paper every Monday from the said book. I did not want to use the book after my graduation and am really pissed off.

If you are interested in learning how to be a good leader or administrator, this is your book. I am currently using it as a textbook for doctoral studies.
Excellent content as well as an relatively easy read.
