Publisher's Synopsis
Doing the Right Thing Sometimes Difficult, But Always Correct contains fourteen scenarios and solutions. The scenarios are real-life situations the author had to deal with as a principal and superintendent. Doing the right thing is sometimes challenging, but always correct. Each unique scenario is followed by questions that the reader or small groups should consider in a college/university graduate leadership course. These challenging scenarios will require discussions that will differ among each group member or individual and be shared by each group or individual.
The solution section describes what the author did with each scenario and identifies the applicable Professional Standards for Educational Leaders for that scenario. In the author's nine years of teaching at the University of Northern Iowa, coordinating the superintendent preparation program, and teaching in the principal's licensure program, he found that just teaching theory and concepts needed to be combined with real-world experiences to mean something to future leaders.
