Introduction
Introduction Thank you for adopting our textbook for use in your class. This manual contains the test bank for each chapter. The test bank generally follows the PowerPoints for each chapter that you will find online from the Pearson website. This manual includes the following sections: 1. A list of the major goals of this edition. 2. A detailed description of what is new in this edition of the textbook, mostly taken from the preface of the textbook. 3. A test bank—chapter by chapter. For each chapter, we have provided a recommended set of multiple-choice items, short-answer items, and essay items. 4. An answer key for the multiple-choice and the short-answer questions. The answer key is located after the test bank. There are brief guidelines provided for the essay questions. Four Major Goals of this New Edition 1. Based on readers’ and reviewers’ positive comments, we have kept or updated the practical applications that we call “Voices from the Field” in appropriate chapters. 2. We update the treatment of the subject of organizational behavior in schools so that it includes new research and current trends. 3. We incorporate a better connection between organizational behavior, critical theory (CT), and critical race theory (CRT). 4. We integrate theory and practice throughout the text by discussion and expansion on initial concepts in succeeding chapters to provide additional depth of analysis and synthesis. What is New in the 12th Edition? The following are the specific major changes to this 12th edition of Organizational Behavior in Education: • We integrated the new National Educational Leadership Preparation (NELP) Program Recognition Standards into this preface to help readers identify which chapters focus on the various standards and components of the new standards. • We have maintained the “Voices from the Field” in appropriate chapters and updated several. We solicited examples from practicing administrators to show how concepts are being applied in the schools today. These “Voices” provide the reader with a connection between theory and practice as well as help the reader critically apply “book knowledge” to organizational behavior. • We believe critical theory (CT) and critical race theory (CRT) in education have been elevated to major theories since their initial introduction in the mid-1990s. We also believe it is important to focus on eliminating racism in schools and schooling through a focus on CRT at all levels in the organization. To this end, we have additional content on CT and CRT theory and the newest research on CRT added to Chapter 1. • The book has been updated throughout to include the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which is the revision to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
