This book examines some of the most important challenges facing administrators and other professionals in PreK-12 schools today: safety and security, hiring and evaluating members of the faculty and staff, dealing with students' academic and behavioral challenges, assessing student performance, responding to disengaged or overly engaged parents, and handling external pressures from the community. It also explores ideas for how to design the types of school our students will need in the future and cope with the realities of trying to develop these schools in a difficult educational environment. Preferring practical advice over unsupported hypotheses and adopting clear, instructive language rather than educational jargon, the authors draw upon their own experience as well as some of the best research currently being conducted in the field of educational leadership. The book is suitable for self-study, workshops, education courses, and in-serve programs. The target audience is current and prospective PreK-12 administrators, teachers, student teachers, and staff.

Industry Reviews
Confronting Today's Issues is a refreshing, honest, and practical book that can and should be on every educator’s shelf no matter how long they have been in the business! From the beginning, the authors explain that they are about to fly in the face of sometimes burdening instructional and managerial theory and tackle the real daily challenges of teachers and administrators full-on with suggestions based on their many collective years in the field. This is not to say that they ignore research and proven techniques, quite the contrary. This “guidebook” is a sort of homage to research and data-driven practices but with an updated, fresh approach that respects the research but immediately leads us to what might be new applications and ideas that are immediately applicable to today’s many challenges to quality and successful instruction and management.
