Sommario/riassunto

This book looks at the major challenges of the principal position, examining how new principals adapt to the role, set an instructional agenda, and build cooperation and collaboration. It focuses on the dilemmas that mark the principalship - the inevitable, complicated conflicts that arise from a clash of values and resist simple solutions, such as addressing stakeholder demands, time management, delegation, creating safety while building bridges, and work-life balance.
