This chapter presents a complex, real-life, accessible case study in expecting the best to provoke and stimulate conversation around practical problems and alternative solutions that confront educational leaders today. These cases cover a wide range of topics, including: teacher evaluations, educational reforms, school safety, cultural differences, and undocumented students. Each case study has three alternative responses written by experienced educational administrators and academics. The respondents were asked to identify the primary problem, along with secondary problems, and to provide a strategy that will address the problems identified. By providing three alternative responses to each case, a diverse range of problems and solutions are available for each case study. The chapter reveals a number of issues in schools, three of which are identified. First issue represents discrimination based on sexual orientation. Second issue represents tensions between career longevity and the mission of social justice and equity. Third issue represents misunderstandings about the value and purpose of a liberal arts education. © 2016 Taylor & Francis.
