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. Featuring stories shared by practicing principals, this timely volume:
- Offers fresh insights on ways to both attract and retain good principals.
- Shows how successful principals reconcile their expectations and hopes with the realities and disappointments encountered in their work.
- Examines issues common to all principals, such as time management, staff evaluations, keeping the focus on instruction, community expectations, and pursuing a balanced life.
- Presents strategies that principals have used to make their role more effective and more attractive.
- Provides practical ideas for coping with the present and envisioning the future, including alternative principal models.
