Beskrivning

The Principal's Companion offers aspiring educational administrators situational exercises with the aim of improving their leadership and decision making skills. Utilizing five major sets of activities: 1) Creating the School, 2) Leading the School, 3) Preparing for Success, 4) In-basket Simulations, and 5) Case Studies, the authors introduce real life simulations as a practicum to learning and a "practice field" for implementing newly-acquired skills. Transferring theory to practice allows future educational leaders the opportunity to analyze situations in a school, synthesize overall operations of a school, and evaluate their leadership progression. The Principal's Companion serves as a tool for aspiring leaders to connect preparation to realities of school leadership.

Recensioner i media

Research is replete with theories of leadership. This text is rich in current activities and scenarios in the fast-paced, chaotic life of a campus principal. We are most excited to have this handbook to prepare our aspiring administrators for ethical and significantly complex problems similar to those they will face as school leaders.
