Companion Guide to Handbook of Urban Educational Leadership

A Companion Guide to Handbook of Urban Educational Leadership: Theory to Practice provides the reader with activities linked to the theoretical chapters, which no handbook has included to date. The overarching goal is the development of scholarly leaders who can lead change and improve the practice. The Companion Guide creates an important bridge to connecting the theoretical concepts with practical applications. The Companion Guide activities will help illuminate salient theoretical concepts related to urban education and leadership. This deliberate intertwining of theoretical bases with practical implications, allows the reader to gain understanding into the praxis of urban educational leadership. By bringing together philosophical and educational insights, we bridge theoretical gaps in the scholarship of the urban educational leadership in society, and offer tools for critically analyzing the undergirding concepts.
