This book was prepared over the many years (30 to be exact) of my working in school administration There are many ways that a teacher can be promoted to the assistant principalship and I hope this book will be helpful to the reader. Often teachers see the assistant principal as a position that gets them out of the classroom and will fatten their wallet at the same time. Both can be true but the roles and responsibilities of the assistant principal may not be for every teacher. Are you sure that there is a significant increase in pay for the time and aggravation that comes with the job? Do you want to work with student discipline and irate parents a large part of your day? Will you enjoy sitting on Friday nights at away football games or listening to a band concert till 9PM? Do you want to use the assistant principalship as a stepping stone to the principalship or are you a career assistant? The book discusses what you should think about before you start pursuing the assistant principalship and what to do if you do decide that this is the job for you. I include resume and interview tips to assist you in that very important part of the hiring process. Tips for the Prospective Assistant Principal was written for the aspiring administrator that wants to make a difference in American schools. I hope you find the information pertinent to you as you pursue your goal..

This is the definitive work on Medicare's prospective payment system (PPS), which had its origins in the 1972 Social Security Amendments, was first applied to hospitals in 1983, and came to fruition with the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. Here, Rick Mayes and Robert A. Berenson, M.D., explain how Medicare's innovative payment system triggered shifts in power away from the providers (hospitals and doctors) to the payers (government insurers and employers) and how providers have responded to encroachments on their professional and financial autonomy. They conclude with a discussion of the problems with the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 and offer prescriptions for how policy makers can use Medicare payment policy to drive improvements in the U.S. health care system.

Mayes and Berenson draw from interviews with more than sixty-five major policy makers -- including former Treasury secretary Robert Rubin, U.S. Representatives Pete Stark and Henry Waxman, former White House chief of staff Leon Panetta, and former administrators of the Health Care Financing Administration Gail Wilensky, Bruce Vladeck, Nancy-Ann DeParle, and Tom Scully -- to explore how this payment system worked and its significant effects on the U.S. medical landscape in the past twenty years. They argue that, although managed care was an important agent of change in the 1990s, the private sector has not been the major health care innovator in the United States; rather, Medicare's transition to PPS both initiated and repeatedly intensified the economic restructuring of the U.S. health care system.
