Abstract
In this article, personal reflections, leading to the notion of the craft not art, not Science of educational administration are set forth. Following a growing personal disenchantment with the science of administration and a consideration of adminstration as an art, the craft aspects of administrative work became apparent to the author. The implications of conceiving of administration as a craft for preparation programs are then discussed in the light of this view of administrative practice.Keywords
