Book Overview
"A real contribution to an over-discussed subject.... This book reaches below the surface to the real issues and relationships that confront principles in their orchestration of the daily affairs of teachers, parents, and students."
--Harold Howe II, former president of the Ford Foundation for Education and Public Policy
Based on the work of the prestigious Harvard Principal's Center, this book shares some of the "sense" that practicing principals have made of their own complex experiences. The authors offer real-life case examples of typical leadership dilemmas in such areas as student discipline, teacher assessment, fiscal management, parental involvement, and schoolwide planning.

Great Dose of Reality
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I've really enjoyed reading this book as a dose or reality regarding what split decisions principals make in their everyday jobs. If you happen to read the book, stop at the end each story and think about what you would do. Then read the letters from the authors. It's quite fun!
