Excellent Theory...Especially For Early Childhood Professionals Aug 13, 2007 By Reginald Williams
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.

Had to buy it for a class Apr 24, 2012 By momteacherdean
The price on Amazon can't be beat. Pair it with Amazon Prime and it's a winner. The content is another story. It is dry, dry, dry reading. I am supposed to be reading it now, and I am doing everything but reading. I get that it's not the most exciting topic, but the author doesn't do much to make it any more "readable." It's so dry and so data heavy, and really, it you are going to be a Principal and don't know half the stuff in here by nature, then you probably should pick another profession! But, the content is good. Just wish it had a bit more personality!

GROSS INCONVENIENCE!!! Oct 15, 2011 By Peter Mwangi
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.

Learning & Leadership Jun 16, 2010 By Dwight Farris
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.

Educational Leadership Mar 05, 2009 By Ima Learnen "forever a student"
The book was in very good condition. There was very little highlighting, writing or other marks. The book was very well read, but maintained in excellent condition.
