DESCRIPTION:
It is “Modern” not only in the sense that the information it presents is current, but in the manner in which it engages the reader to understand and apply that information. With its strong basis in current research, and easy-to-use, intuitive features, this book strikes an effective balance between the informational and the pedagogical. This text was developed by the leading scholars in school finance as part of a series from one of the leading Schools of Education in the world. This first text in Allyn & Bacon’s new Educational Leadership series from Peabody College, clarifies the complex financial issues facing educational administrators and presents them in a clear and engaging manner. The case studies and interactive pedagogy make this a very practical text.. It covers trends (both historical and current) in educational finance and includes calculations and problems for students to work, and its “Modern” approach pays close attention to the new realities of accountability, resource allocation, and policy
From the Back Cover
Irish Runner said Dull but understandable. This text was very dry but communicated a great deal of information. There was little opportunity for practical exercises on some of the concepts, and the text did not lend itself to creating an interesting and inclusive approach to teaching/learning the material.. Not pedogogically usefull Karen R I can't say that I learned anything from this book that would actually help me in the classroom. You may need to to get through a master level class somewhere but it will not enlighten you in practical manners. Buy used.. Merriellen said Modern Education Finance and Policy book. I choose this rating because I wasn't thrilled with the paper quality. I don't know if it was available in any other form but it isn't going to be a book that will have a great life span because the paper is so thin.
