Recenzii
"Advocating intentional sensitivity within educational systems to 'situational contexts,' 'professional contexts,' 'material contexts,' and 'external contexts,' all of which encompass schools' history, intake (student/constituent sources), and setting in shaping respondent leadership roles, this text makes a case that education administrators should consider and respect the environmental influences surrounding individual school systems, rather than attempt to force artificial and universal forces of conformity (in the spirit of post-colonialism)." - D. D. Bouchard, CHOICE
