Balanced Leadership - How Effective Principals Manage Their Work

Klappentext Alarmed by mounting evidence of a national shortage of qualified and willing principals, the authors surveyed and interviewed over 200 school principals from across the country to find out why so many are leaving the profession and how those who stay manage their work. They discovered that regardless of a principal's race, gender, school level, geographic region, or tenure, there was a remarkable consistency in the challenges identified and suggestions given for revamping the role of the American principal. Zusammenfassung Featuring stories shared by practicing principals! this volume offers insights on ways to both attract and retain good principals. It shows how successful principals reconcile their expectations and hopes with the realities and disappointments encountered in their work. It also examines issues such as time management! staff evaluations! and more.
