Probing what is required for effective decision-making, defined as decision-making that results in implementation, the book examines not only the role of formal educational leaders of schools (administrators) but also the roles played by district and department of education formal leaders. It uses five central themes that surfaced from research to develop a novel leadership model for ensuring implantation of decisions. These include knowledge and skill; collaboration and communication; balance of autonomy, accountability, and direction; political and bureaucratic considerations; and strong moral imperative. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Decision making is a complex process requiring much more than hard work and dedication. \u003ci\u003eThe Role of Leaders in Educational Decision-Making: Examining Implementation Factors and Providing a Newfound Model \u003c\/i\u003epresents a unique and highly informative recipe for leaders to consider as they move from idea generation to successful implementation.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Carmen Mombourquette, \u003ci\u003eUniversity of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Nancy Matthews sheds light on the critical link between educator-informed decision making and successful program implementation.
