Purpose of the Student Pages
The student pages for this text provide additional information that may help with understanding how a political perspective can help school leaders provide a successful education for all students. Many people have a very negative view of what is political, and yet the work of politics is necessary in everyday life as people try to achieve their goals. Some of the web-based information provides a different perspective on some of the commonly misunderstood processes of politics in schools.
