The Principalship

Taking a "reality-based" approach, this book provides a solid base for the socio/political, legal, and theoretical contexts for school leadership. It recognizes that as the person who has the day-to-day responsibility of school operation and student learning, the principal must have a foundation in instructional organization, evaluation and assessment, and the business/facilities dimensions of the job. Unlike other texts in the field, this book provides in-depth coverage of the real issues that permeate today's schools such as inclusion, violence, teen pregnancy, and students with disabilities.
