Harvard Graduate School of Education Catalog of K-12 Case Materials.

The Roderick MacDougall Center for Case Development and Teaching at the Harvard Graduate School of Education develops and encourages the use of case materials in the training of educational leaders. The materials are designed primarily for use with those preparing to enter or currently working in K-12 educational institutions. This catalog contains an annotated listing of case materials recently developed and collected. Cases are listed on separate pages in alphabetical order by title. For each case, the catalog offers information about the author, and the length and setting of the cases. Each listing also provides a detailed summary of the content of the case and information about the cases' protagonists or key actors. The catalog classifies the cases with regard to broad disciplinary categories and topics that are significant. All cases carry at least one of the descriptors commonly used in educational and managerial literature including: community and local politics, curriculum and instruction, facilities and financial management, human resources management, organizational development, personnel and labor relations, and public policy and institutional strategy.
