Synopsis

In today’s educational system, a lot of attention has been given to the skills a school principal should have to be successful, but there is little focus on the person that the principal should be. The school’s head administrator as a person is at the core of school improvement and, as a result, student development.

In The Principal’s Chair: Who Sits There Matters, A Secret of School Success, author Judith D. Knotts draws from her years of experience as a school leader to provide powerful insight into multiple aspects of what it takes to be an effective principal. From the first chapter, “Beginning the Leadership Journey,” to the last, “Honoring the Leadership Position,” this insightful book provides a conceptual and practical guide to help principals set priorities, establish credibility, and strengthen leadership skills.

For use by new principals or experienced administrators alike, this clear, readable, and engaging resource offers concrete, real-world examples to help practitioners sort out the best approaches and behaviors as they progress into extraordinary school leaders and make a difference in the lives of students.
