School Matters
 Iron Maiden a Matter of Life and Death 23x34 Poster $9.99 This poster shows a number of skeletons in soldiers uniforms around a tank. At the top it says "Iron Maiden" and at the bottom it says "A Matter of Life and Death".  Hayes School Publishing R290R Everyday Survival Skills: Money Matters, Meeting Daily Needs, and Careers- 72 Blackline Masters $17.12 Exercises on checking and savings accounts, loans, insurance, and more. ''How-tos'' for shopping, travel, voting. Deals with social security, job applications, aptitude tests, and more. Teacher's Key.  Trust Matters: Leadership for Successful Schools $32.00 This book provides a rather limited thesis that will seem rather dated to students of business leadership (i.e. "theory X" vs "theory Y"). Still, the examples are worth a quick read. Ultimately, the book supports its point that "Trust Matters", and provides a rather basic framework for building and maintaining "trust", although it seems more focused on doing so with teachers than with parents and students. As such, it also falls short in its attempt to fulfill its subtitle - "Leadership for Successful Schools". Don't be fooled into expecting more than a rather basic introduction into "trust" in educational setting - and look to business leadership books for a more thoughtful and more "cutting edge" discussion of "trust" in professional relationships. This book would have been better presented as a lengthy journal article, and should be read as such. |
