The tenth annual NCPEA yearbook examines the pressing issues facing today's educational leaders from a variety of philosophical perspectives. Standardized testing, the impact of market forces on public education, zero tolerance disciplinary polices, gender and ethnic diversity, and issues related to the preparation of school leaders are among the topics discussed in the 25 essays. This divergent dialogue speaks to professors of educational administration, superintendents, principals, and others engaged in this changing and challenging field.
