The role of the principal has become increasingly demanding in recent years due to the emphasis on student learning outcomes and federal legislation aimed at improving education. To address these demands, The Principalship takes a learning-centered approach, emphasizing the principal's role as the steward of the school's vision: learning for all. The book covers critical aspects of the teaching-learning process, including student motivation, individual differences, classroom management, assessing student learning, and developing, maintaining, and changing school culture. It also includes topics not found in other principalship texts, such as school safety, special education, gifted education, bilingual education, nontraditional organizational structures, gender-inclusive theories, diversity, ethics, political and policy context, human resource management, legal issues, and collective bargaining. The book is extensively documented and grounded in the latest research and theory, with suggestions for applying theory to practice and reflecting cutting-edge research and topical issues facing principals in schools today.
