The Survival Bible for Administrators and Teachers: The Myth and Reality of Tenure (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781440193224)

The premise that tenure guarantees public school educators lifetime job security is a myth. Sullivan identifies the many ways that tenured employees can be fired or forced out of their jobs. This book is a detailed manual of how to anticipate that an attack upon a tenured administrator or teacher is imminent, and the various strategies that the targeted employee can utilize to prevent, fend off, or successfully adjudicate this assault.

Sullivan, who was a successful defendant in the longest 3020-a Disciplinary Hearing in New York State, lists the Fourteen Rules of Engagement he followed to win complete vindication. The basics from how to anticipate an aggressor's actions, to managing information and the media, to working with one's attorney, to the process leading up to and the structure of an actual 3020-a Disciplinary Hearing and much more are covered in detail in this book.

The Survival Bible for Administrators and Teachers is a firsthand explanation of what tenured educators must do to recognize and defend themselves against those forces within a community that would do them professional harm. It is a must-read, self-defense manual for all educators.
