Using examples from foster care systems in the states of Delaware, Michigan, New York, and Rhode Island, Rebecca Padot eloquently combines a rigorous methodology and theory work to expose the conditions under which foster care outcomes can be improved. The cases selected suggest that the federal government has increased its focus on measuring the performance of state programs while simultaneously decreasing its funding of state foster care programs and offering the states very little management or mentorship. Padot turns the page and recommends administrators place a greater priority on building community partners, integrating the advice of mentors, providing leadership from public managers, and cultivating relationships with the federal government.An original and timely resource for scholars and practitioners, this book represents a significant contribution to our understanding of how leadership and management variables may be associated with more positive foster care practices and performance in the United States"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Foster home care $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103539 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Affairs & Administration. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Social Services & Welfare. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Foster home care. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00933198 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 830 0 $a Routledge research in public administration and public policy ; $v 12. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2012135070 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213022132.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=282F77F2EA0B11E7B6F5700597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
