This first text in ABL’s new Educational Leadership series from Peabody College, clarifies the complex financial issues facing educational administrators and presents them in a clear and engaging manner.

 

This text was developed by the leading scholars in school finance as part of a series from one of the leading Schools of Education in the world. This series will provide readers with a succinct and practical analysis of current Educational Leadership topics. This book is “Modern” not only in the sense that the information it presents is current, but in the manner in which it engages the reader to understand and apply that information. With its strong basis in current research, and easy-to-use, intuitive features, this book strikes an effective balance between the informational and the pedagogical. It covers trends (both historical and current) in educational finance and includes calculations and problems for students to work, and its “Modern” approach pays close attention to the new realities of accountability, resource allocation, and policy. The case studies and interactive pedagogy make this a very practical text.

  • The text opens with case studies, each demonstrating real issues faced by educational administrators today. Throughout the text, the authors refer back to these case studies as the students master successive material.
  • Each chapter opens with a concise list of Chapter Objectives and contains a series of text boxes referring the reader back to the case studies making a clear connection between the material in the chapter and actual practice.
  • Each chapter contains a reproduction of a current newspaper article demonstrating the relationship of the material to modern education finance.
  • Chapters on budgeting and resource distribution contain simulation exercises in which students use spreadsheets to manipulate financial data to determine equitable distributions and efficient allocation of resources.
  • Chapters close with several pages of practical material, including: Class Activities, Discussion Questions, Technology Simulation (also Class Activities), and Web site references.
  • A large number of end-of-chapter exercises offering more choice for the professor and more practice for the student.
  • An extensive Glossary and Index assist comprehension and further research.
  • An Instructor’s Manual with resources and test items is available online to adopters by contacting your local representative.
