Description
Emphasizing the relationship between human resource management and student learning, this book is driven by recent research, yet offers realistic applications throughout. In addition to discussing human resource functions, this text emphasizes how human resource decisions affect student achievement. It also discusses human resource practice in schools with site-based management, addresses ISLLC standards, and shows practical applications for research related to human resource practice. Hallmark Features Contains case studies to give students a detailed picture of various personnel problems. Four new case studies-- No Child Left Behind, teacher recruitment and selection, reductions in force, and teacher dismissal-- focus on recent developments in the field. Describes five major forms of collective bargaining used in school districts. Contains a major section on site-based management that reflects current practice in schools and districts. " Suggested Activities" at the end of each chapter provide practical applications. Annotated lists of Online Resources at the end of each chapter provide quick access to supplemental material. Discussion of teacher and administrator shortages-- particularly among minority candidates-- examines this important issue and its effect on learning.
