20 Biggest Mistakes Principals Make and How to Avoid Them [Paperback]

The information presented is true to life; school principals will see themselves on every page. The strategies presented to 'fix' or avoid our mistakes really do work! You don't have to be a new principal to benefit from this one. I wish this book had been written many years ago to help me with my first principal's position. It is an indispensable resource for new and seasoned principals to avoid the pitfall of administration. I quickly learned that the situations I faced were similar to other principals experiences. The answers to my dilemmas were based on common sense and experience such as the examples in this book. An excellent resource for principals to examine their effectiveness. Introduction
