Management Succession, School Socioeconomic Context, and Basic Skills Achievement.
Rowan, Brian; Denk, Charles E.
American Educational Research Journal, v21 n3 p517-37 Fall 1984
This study assessed the effects of a change in principals (management succession) on school level basic skills achievement using longitudinal data on 149 San Francisco Bay Area Schools. The findings indicate that changes can affect school achievement, but that leadership effects develop slowly and are conditioned by a schools' socioeconomic context. (BS)
