School principals must continue to learn and grow in their positions as societal demands and accountability measures keep changing. Principals have become inundated with increased responsibilities often without the benefit of continued learning opportunities. Too often, district personnel are not equipped to provide the learning needed to support school administrators. Learning Opportunities for Principals: Methods for Meeting the Needs of Today's Administrators is a compilation of best practices to support principal learning, including "how to" design and implement learning prospects that will not only help school administrators but also district personnel. Learning opportunities include communities of practice, mentoring programs, coaching, and the like. Many districts have programs in place, but they do not attain the desired results due to the program design and readiness of staff. Each chapter will explain how to design an effective program and will also outline the district's responsibility in the learning. With effective programs, principals' burnout will be decreased, which minimizes turnover in leadership. All of which will impact student achievement results.
