Postmodern School Leadership Meeting the Crisis in Educational Administration

School administrators have been asked What does postmodern/poststructural theory have to say about educational leadership and the reorganizing of schools in the United States today? This collection of responses reveals that educational administration research and publication has been traditional, conservative, and naive. To improve administrative theory and practice, Maxcy's work presents a lively review of Weberian positivism, Levi-Straussian structuralism, the new postmodern theories in light of existentialism, deconstruction and hermeneutics, hoping to animate administrators to discard stale modes of thought in favor of new philosophical fusions.Maxcy, Spencer J. is the author of 'Postmodern School Leadership Meeting the Crisis in Educational Administration', published 1994 under ISBN 9780275945657 and ISBN 0275945650.
