School Law for K-12 Educators avoids the often-complex presentation of education laws and the issues surrounding education. The text allow prospective headteachers, counsellors and teachers to grasp essential legalities of public school law without being weighed down with complex, non-essential details. School Law for K-12 Educators provides education professionals with a practical knowledge of school law so that they may function in the education setting with confidence and competence. Each chapter is a self-contained unit that contains case studies with discussion questions and provides an overview of the legal area in a dialectic format which stimulates student interest.
