Reviews

Joseph Murphy...has been a constant voice and participant within reform conversations and activities. This book provides a valuable resource...charting much of the activities and thinking that have brought us to our current location and providing ideas for the field to consider as it works to build a positive and meaningful future.
*Michelle D. Young and Gary G. Crow, University Council for Educational Administration*

This text looks at how school leaders have been trained in the past and offers a critical analysis of current pre-service training programs.
*Reference and Research Book News*

Murphy argues persuasively that reconceptualizing school leadership and leadership preparation is an essential step in achieving collaborative and continuous school improvement....[He] makes us think seriously about the condition of leadership preparation and steps that can be taken to enhance its quality...Instead of simply lamenting what is, Murphy moves us to what can be. He outlines bold strategies to make research on leadership preparation more meaningful and visible. For this we are in his debt. Faculty members, policymakers, and practitioners must read this monograph and, more importantly, respond in thoughtful and purposeful ways.
*Martha McCarthy, Chancellor's Professor, Indiana University*
