Corwin wrote the book on Education Leadership. Our evidence-based, peer-reviewed titles, from well-known education leadership authors like Michael Fullan, Peter DeWitt, Lyn Sharratt, Andy Hargreaves and more, as well as new voices with research-based resources for professional learning, digital education leadership, coaching, instructional leadership, school reform, school improvement and education management make us the trusted source for school and district leadership.
Doing good analyses of qualitative data is something that many students struggle with. I think this book exemplifies very well how qualitative data can be analysed in a very systematic way.
I like this book but not for the intro into qualitative research as it assumes understanding of the basic methods, concepts and the on-going discourse in qualitative research--ie it is a bit to advanced. Our intro course is to be taken by all PhD students and not just for those planning on qualitative research.
However, I think it would work well for our advanced qualitative course but that is still in developement and not slated to be taught until 2012.
Thank you
