"The much-needed leadership tips and tools for new school administrators. Fledgling school administrators are often ill-prepared for their new leadership role and are frequently left to their own devices to navigate the slippery terrain of school administration.

This handy guide will teach the tricks of the trade in order to survive and thrive in the job. Filled with the information that is rarely taught but school leaders need to know to be effective administrators. Written by John Gabriel and Paul Farmer, two veteran and award-winning school leaders.
