"Human Resources Administration in Education presents a very practical, comprehensive treatment of the human resources function as it operates from a central office or school district level. The text utilizes a management approach that reflects current ISLLC and ELCC standards and is organized around the processes and procedures necessary for implementing effective human resources administration. Chapter 1 presents an overview of the context in which human resources administration takes place. Treated in separate chapters are the eight essential dimensions of the human resources function: human resource planning, recruitment, selection, placement and induction, staff development, appraisal, performance/compensation, and collective negotiations

The final chapter presents legal, ethical, and policy issues in human resources administration."--Jacket
