Principals In Action: Redefining the Role

by Jay Posick, Ryan Sheehy, Mark French

The role of the principal is constantly changing. As our students change, leaders must also evolve to remain effective, instructional leaders. Even though the role of the principal is changing, there are some who see the principal as the stereotypical disciplinarian who sits in an office, waits for problems, and talks to students who make poor choices. Dive into real-life stories from these three principals as they recount their personal journeys as an administrator and the strategies of being a visible leader - out of the office and in classrooms. This book will provide practical ideas motivating all school administrators to get out of their office and become a real part of their school.
