This innovative book outlines a comprehensive strategy to help principals succeed amid increasingly difficult circumstances. The authors take a fresh approach to the principalship by focusing on the accomplishments needed to support student learning. Realizing these accomplishments requires simultaneous leadership in four domains - creating sustainable goals, developing a strategic focus, practicing effective action, and building social and civic capital. They show why these accomplishments and leadership domains are important to a principal's success and how they can be achieved. This groundbreaking text is an essential resource for administrators - providing a framework for school leadership that will stimulate the kind of reflection, analysis, and action that improves individual practice. It is an essential resource for educators - outlining an accomplishment-minded model that can be applied to school leadership preparation. It is an essential resource for policymakers - presenting a conceptual foundation for change that addresses today's emphasis on accountability and standards.
