From the Paper
"Marquis and Joregensen-Huston state that the health care system in America is rapidly changing and evolving and that this change requires a continuous effort to plan and manage health care providers. This means that Nurse Administrators in the twenty-first century perhaps more than ever before must be good leaders. They must be leaders who can manage and yet be sufficiently flexible to establish collaboration across a diverse and complex healthcare system."

"Research tell us that healthcare is now the largest industry in America, with total "sales" of more than $1.2 trillion, which is a greater dollar figure than the Gross National Product of most nations (Crowe, Hartman, Brockmann & Henson, 2002). Because of the enormity of the industry coupled with its regulatory and structural dynamic nature, healthcare administrators must be highly skilled professionals. Once the degree is obtained, education does not cease for the healthcare administrator, the active need of education has only just begun."

Abstract
The nursing administrator's function within the organization is grounded in the fact that experienced nurses possess the knowledge necessary to lead an organization (Donahue, 1996, p. 454). The nursing administrator uses this knowledge base to function effectively in health care and then works to ensure that the goals of the facility are achieved and that the workers support those goals. This is because the nursing administrator is both a manager and a leader. McNamara (2008) states that leadership is an integral part of any organization (sec. 1). This is because the leader is responsible for motivating workers to accomplish organizational goals and ensuring that those goals are met in the best interests of the company. The leader, therefore, is concerned with the needs of workers and the organization, while at the same time providing positive future focused movement for the business.

Abstract
This paper looks at the evaluation of teachers and administrators and on what factors they should be evaluated. It looks at what their different roles are and explains the different criteria that should be used in their evaluation.

From the Paper
"Administrators and teachers should be assessed differently because they do different jobs. Teachers teach and they should be assessed on their ability to do so. Most of the assessment should be based on just how effectively they teach, how well they communicate with their students, how well their students learn and how well they do on tests, whether students interact with the teachers and how well they do so, whether the teacher is able to hold the students' interest in what they are teaching."

Abstract
This article offers a guiding assessment for education administration, specifically administration within the special education sector. The essay includes an interview with a school administrator who has been involved with special education administration for 8 years. It discusses organizational culture, leadership realities, curricular demands, staff development needs and general school climate. It finds that upholding the standards of administration is the mutual responsibility of educators, administrators and members of the community. It also finds that the effective administrator must actively endorse recruitment, resource and assessment programs which can help to draw meaningful public and treasury support.

From the Paper
"The primary rationale for the course presented is its adherence to a set of statewide standards which are contended to offer the prospect for an equalized advancement of special needs students. By designing curricula for the learning disabled which are intended to accommodate the attainment of proficiency levels parallel to those of the mainstream student population, it will be possible to channel the individual strengths of these pupils in a setting which emphasizes a commitment to achievement metrics."

From the Paper
"The study of Education Administration or simply said the leadership within a school is that which guides, leads, propels, and motivates the teachers and thereby the students as well. The environment of the school is critical in setting the stage for the optimal learning experience. It is initially the superintendent and principal who will determine the primary focus of the school both in terms of curriculum, environment and learning atmosphere in relation to ethnicity, race, and gender mutual-respect, autonomy and equality in the learning experience."

Abstract
The paper discusses the challenges facing healthcare administrators and describes the many facets of an administrator's job. The paper concludes that the position of the health care administrator may not be a glorious one, but it is definitely a very important one.

From the Paper
"Other risks that must be taken into account are those that deal with abuse and fraud. This is also an area that the health care administrator must have control of. They must make sure that the rules are known by everyone and then followed as closely as possible. So many facilities depend on state and government funding to survive that they cannot afford to take any chances at losing any of it. Knowing the rules and abiding by them is the best way for a health care facility to be successful. Seeing that this is what happens is ultimately the responsibility of the health care administrator in charge of the facility."
