Описание: Few resources exist for individuals who wish to subscribe to a practical, applied learning approach to higher education administration. To that end, the book’s vignettes: 1) reflect the diversity of issues, roles, contexts and situations postsecondary leaders face - yet are uncommonly addressed in learning resources; 2) place learners in authentic higher education administrative circumstances in which they must respond; 3) facilitate further individual or collective exploration; and 4) may be adapted to a broad array of formal and informal professional development needs.The book’s scenarios include a broad assortment of exhibits (e.g., correspondences, articles, institutional policies, etc.) which allow learners to practice evaluating a range of information sources common in postsecondary administration. In addition, each vignette provides learners with guided opportunities to determine how and why they might respond in the situations presented, and offers chances to assess the responses of actual higher education administrators to authentic situations and challenges.
Government-by-proxy and intergovernmental relations profoundly affect the public administration of foster care. Using examples from foster care systems in the states of Delaware, Michigan, New York, and Rhode Island, Rebecca Padot eloquently combines a rigorous methodology and theory work to expose the conditions under which foster care outcomes can be improved. The cases selected suggest that the federal government has increased its focus on measuring the performance of state programs while simultaneously decreasing its funding of state foster care programs and offering the states very little management or mentorship. Padot turns the page and recommends administrators place a greater priority on building community partners, integrating the advice of mentors, providing leadership from public managers, and cultivating relationships with the federal government.
An original and timely resource for scholars and practitioners, this book represents a significant contribution to our understanding of how leadership and management variables may be associated with more positive foster care practices and performance in the United States.
