<>Emphasizing the relationship of human resource management to student learning, this book is driven by recent research, yet offers real applications throughout.

Many Human Resource Management books emphasize only the functions of the area. This text emphasizes how human resource decisions affect student achievement. It also discusses the impact on human resource practice in schools with site-based management, addresses ISLLC standards, and shows practical applications for research related to human resource practice.
