- Summary
- Here's a guide to reflective, values-oriented, and valuation-oriented practice. The authors show administrators how to use a technique they call "consequence analysis" to anticipate the main consequences of alternative courses of action when deciding important issues. Administrators can incorporate the principles of consequence analysis in making day-to-day decisions that affect everyone in their school or district. Administrators can help improve the school lives of administrators-in-training, school leaders, staff, and students by encouraging this type of thoughtful practice as an everyday reality. Exercises, cases, and vignettes help administrators, ed admin faculty, and future school leaders translate philosophies and ideas into real-life practice. Here is the spark an educational leader needs to practice or teach sound, caring, value-based decision making.
