Each case seems to flow in a natural manner that keeps the reader's interest. The writer appears to be up-to-date, professional, and on top of current issues in educational administration. This book would be a valuable resource in guiding classroom discussions and developing self-awareness." Sue R. Abegglen, Ed.D. Culver-Stockton College
