For Human Resources/Personnel in Education courses.

Presenting the latest research in Human Resources Education this text covers eleven fundamental processes related to the human resource function in the educational arena. Coverage follows the logical flow of human resource activity within the public school setting, from implementation, to evaluation, to maintenance...clearly differentiating between policy decisions and administrative decisions with dozens of new examples. Issues that have been, and continue to be mainstays of the human resource function are examined; emerging human resource issues are introduced; and, best practices relating to each issue are examined. Additionally, several pivotal themes provide a conceptual foundation for understanding the nature of the human resource function, its numerous processes, its boundaries, and how it connects to other administrative functions.
