Human Resources Administration in Education

by Ronald W. Rebore

This widely popular text uses a management approach organized around the processes and procedures necessary for implementing effective human resources administration to give students a comprehensive, user-friendly look at the fundamentals. It presents the human resources function within the context of public school districts; covers the eight essential dimensions of the human resources function: human resources planning, recruitment, selection, placement and induction, staff development, performance evaluation, compensation, and collective negotiations; and looks at the legal, ethical, and policy aspects of human resources administration. Now available as an affordable e-book, Ronald Rebore's "Human Resources Administration in Education" weaves the language of technology throughout; includes more stories and personal examples; poses reflective questions on the focus scenarios; includes a section on value added performance evaluation and more information on win-win collective negotiations; and includes updating throughout.

I read this book for graduate school and rated it according to other educational texts.

I will admit to not wanting to read this entire book. I read the first few chapters and then switched to just reading the summaries and appendices at the end of each chapter. The summaries and appendices did contain a lot of helpful explanations and examples, however!

Read for post-cert. program class… wrote too many papers.
Some good nuggets of information but lots of dryness in there :/

Okay textbook on a dry subject. HR is not the favorite part of my job and it didn't really give me any new insights other than have a good attorney!

[David Armstrong]

Solid textbook and a good overview of human resources in an educational setting. Lots of transferable information is a plus.

A good textbook for a very dry subject. I learned from it, and I guess that's all you can ask for.

From a lack of solid examples to an endorsement of value-added pay for teachers, I would not recommend this book for courses.
