Editor's Note
Recommended Reading Redux
This marks the seventh year that the staff of School Administrator has  created a digital-only July issue that showcases what we consider the “Best of” from  the past publishing year. We believe this issue, which is the only one that does not

appear in print, serves a couple of useful purposes.

First, the “Best of” issue gives you a chance to read content of interest and value that you may have missed the first time around. We recognize that our readers don’t always have full command of their time and that may lead to an issue of our magazine sinking deeper into a professional reading pile, perhaps never to surface.

 

So here’s a second chance to access distinctive articles about parenting school-age children while working as the district superintendent, coverage of the school culture wars and rethinking of the superintendent’s role and three installments of our prizewinning Ethical Educator column.

 

Second, the republishing of what we subjectively consider our best work of the previous year lends a performance accounting for the three of us on the staff responsible for producing School Administrator. We can size up in tangible terms what we have accomplished and whether we have addressed the work-world realities of those our professional association is supposed to serve.

 

My editorial colleagues, Liz Griffin and Jacqueline Hyman, and I take great pride in our work, and we consider it a favorable sign each year when beginning preparations for the “Best of” issue that we have such an abundance of nominees that quite a few do not make it in this issue. You can find all back issues, in page-turning format, at www.aasa.org/publications/school-administrator.

 

Happy reading or rereading.
