The Daily Practices of Successful Principals
“Just asThe Leadership Challengeby Kouzes and Possner has become the classic textbook for graduate schools in leadership, The Daily Practices of Successful Principalswill become the classic publication for practicing school principals. The material is straightforward, easy to read, and provides valuable information to all principals who wish to become even more effective. Readers will not be disappointed.”(Kenneth Arndt, Superintendent 2011-05-23)“The book’s strengths are its balance on theory and practice – as well as its insistence reflecting on one’s own values, behaviors and habits – the questions and activities are thought-provoking and just make sense.”(Sheri Epstein, Principal 2011-05-23)“An excellent resource for administrative licensure programs. The organization of the material and predictability of each section make it easy to follow and comprehend. The information is compiled in such a way that those new to administration can easily grasp some essential skills and strategies for successful leaders.”(Betty Flad, Assistant Professor of Educational Leadership 2011-05-23)“The Daily Practices of Successful Principalsis a great resource for principal network meetings or roundtable discussions. The reflective questions and practical tools give the reader a head start on thinking about their own success as instructional leaders. Using this book as a basis for developing parts of one’s annual performance review makes sense.”(Bonnie Tryon, Former Principal 2011-05-23)“If you are a new principal looking for some practical strategies to establish yourself in the community you are about to serve, this book has practical strategies to implement and thought-provoking questions to reflect on as you move forward.” (Leslie Standerfer, Principal 2011-05-23)
