Our hope is this book can be used by university and professional programs to better prepare administrators to assume the superintendent role, as well as guide researchers toward future areas of study. Call for Book Chapters defines case study areas we are looking for, which include but are not limited to: human resources, social emotional learning, finance, ethics, technology, law, unions, equity, school improvement, and board relations.
