"This book juxtaposes Administrators Good at their Jobs (AGJs) with Standout School Leaders (SSLs). AGJs are defined as those who efficiently implement the institutional functions of schooling: credentialing, accreditation, standardization, regulations, and accounting-what and how of schooling. While these institutional functions are designed to effectively control student behavior and academic outcomes, they are poorly suited for developing the diverse talents, abilities, and interest of students. Conversely, SSLs view the dilemma of institutional schooling as a both/and proposition, where institutional means work together with educational ends to create mission-driven learning environments. SSLs preoccupy themselves with the why of schooling. This book gives administrators the tools to stand out by honoring the necessary institutional realities while simultaneously making space for the kinds of innovations that create learning experiences that live up to schools' mission statements. The quality that sets an SSL apart from their colleagues is the courage to expose the cracks in institutional-driven systems and to enact the organizational structures that bring about the school's mission-driven goals and values"-- Provided by publisher.
