Inhaltsangabe

TABLE OF CONTENTS (DRAFT) NOTE: We plan to change the title and issue this as a first edition because the TOC and manuscript will be quite different from the first edition, essentially making this a new text. We will test titles with our reviewers and customers as part of our market development efforts. We will test the proposed TOC along with various feature sets with customers as part of our combined content development and market development efforts. Our efforts will be focused on take-aways from Ubben/Hughes and potentially Crow/Matthews. We also plan to develop some featured content that is similar to the professional principalship books that sell into the market, giving our text some practical flair to balance out the excellent theory and research base. All of this will be tested with customers throughout the development phase to see what works.
