A must-have desktop reference for school administrators! The Administrator's Handbook , now in its third edition, is a practical and informative text that offers answers to those questions that often only experience can answer. The easy-to-browse Q&A format includes chapters on: Student Discipline; Student Activities; Health and Safety; Parent-School Connection; Curriculum and Instruction; Athletics; Supervision and Evaluation; Special Education; and Transportation. This handbook is unique because it contains questions that have been designed by practicing administrators who are actively involved in the daily work of school leadership. As a result, the questions in this handbook have come from a cross section of administrators, including principals, assistant principals, CSE chairpeople, and athletic directors. Our writers who developed the answers to the questions have extensive experience as school administrators and/or working with school districts through BOCES. School leaders are encouraged to review local policies, and when legal interpretations are involved, they are urged to work with the superintendent, school attorney, and professional association to obtain appropriate legal counsel. This is especially important relative to the principal and teacher evaluation (APPR) laws and regulations, which continue to evolve.
