Reframing Decision Making provides a new and thought-provoking perspective about school leadership and the way schools should be organized and governed. This isn’t your typical leadership book with the same ideas and concepts packaged in different ways. Rettig’s theoretical argument for using the principles of democracy to transform public schools is sure to ignite a new wave of conversations and actions in our quest to educate future generations.

Perry Rettig presents a concise look at educational leadership practices in light of a landscape of change. Rettig utilizes this landscape as a compelling need for a renewed look at how democratic leadership structures would better meet the demands placed on educational institutions.
