In the field of educational administration there have been several
years of active debate over how America's school systems are run.
Contemporary educational administrators have been forced to reflect
not only on educational policy and practice, but on the very nature
of their position. How does administration contribute to the type
of society we have? In what ways does it impede or enhance our
cultural ideals and values? "Paradigms and Promises" offers an
unorthodox solution by presenting administration as an arena for
critical reflection and humanistic action, rather than a more
technically-oriented style of management. Foster's critical
analysis is premised on an understanding of the relationship of
theory to practice, and as he provides alternative theories, he
sheds new light on educational administration. Orthodox
administrative theory receives heavy criticism in this text. Foster
employs progressive critical theory as well as conventional
analyses in critical appraisal, and advocates a dialectical
concept, through which administrators, teachers and students are
encouraged to challenge and question each other - the eventual
result being a more responsive, democratically-run system.
