Synopsis

Despite the formal administrative leadership training that principals receive, the most useful lessons come with the job itself. Such knowledge tends to be gained through trial and error and achieved in relative isolation.

The Principal′s Companion provides a much-needed opportunity for "collaboration" with other school leaders. Based on research with schools and educators worldwide, this accessible guide combines the most helpful tried and tested strategies with relevant leadership theory. Topics discussed by the authors include creative leadership and skills, the various roles of the principal, and how to create a "learning community". With quotes from practising principals incorporated throughout, this will prove an excellent professional resource for both practising and aspiring school leaders.
