From Leadership in School Organization to Pragmatic Research in Physical Education Professional Development

The making of this book actually hit me a while back when I was working on for my doctoral dissertation. As an educational leadership doctoral student and candidate I struggled with ideas related to leadership and therefore I kept little notes here and thereon papers computers cell phone or in my head. Once I was reading interesting studies or those that made sense with approaches to leadership. I wrote them down. Later when it came time to write my dissertation I struggled along the way. For that reason I have decided to write the book and to familiarize those who want to write a dissertation or thesis with steps necessary to embark on and pursue to complete such a journey. During one of my trips to France I shared my ideas with a colleague Redha who offered his assistance expertise and attention. From that point on we communicated via email and during my visits to France. The leadership in school organization is written for educational leaders and the research part of the book is written for students who want to investigate the professional development in physical education. Yet any leader or student can benefit from the general ideas offered here.
