This is a book about research in educational leadership and school administration. It was sparked by the 2002 release of the publication Scientific Research in Education by the National Research Council (NRC) co-edited by Richard Shavelson and Lisa Towne.
Scientific Research in Education provoked unusual interest about research in education in general, and research methods in education specifically, leading to lively and sometimes hearted debate in the national education research community. Such dialogue occurred largely, though not exclusively, at American Education Research Association (AERA) and for professors of educational leadership, at University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA). |
