Beskrivning

The Other Side of the Desk explores the world of the principal with stories that capture readers' attention and moves them through the daily life of a school leader. Humorous and heart-wrenching memories fill each page as the author retells the stories that challenged her and affected her daily life as the principal of an elementary campus. Tareilo's experiences as a principal ranged from dealing with difficult teachers and parents to stories that will touch the lives of any educator. She reveals the working world of the principal in a clear, and sometimes frank, language with the intent to bolster and support newly positioned principals and reignite the leadership fire for those with many years of experience. From beginning to end, The Other Side of the Desk invites readers into a leadership experience that will have them laughing, crying, and believing that they too can make a difference in the lives of children.

Recensioner i media

How do principals impact learning and school improvement? Are they superheroes with red capes? This book captures the heart and soul of leadership. Although principals face a multitude of tasks and may feel like they are being asked to 'leap tall buildings in a single bound,' Tareilo points out that successful leaders are fellow learners who are constantly engaged with others in efforts to improve schools. Tareilo captures the essence of leadership that matters in this book. The wisdom that is shared serves as a guide and springboard for reflection and positive action. Put it on your must-read list.
