Drawn from the broad perspectives of behaviorism, structuralism, critical theory and postmodernism, these articles and chapters represent the intellectual turning points of thinking in Educational Leadership and Administration, within the last 30-40 years. These pieces are considered "groundbreaking" in that they became the foundation of further research or are considered "classic" pieces which represent a summation of critical work in similar work. As such, this is a must-have reference resource for any student in the field.
