We invite you to embark on this journey of self-awareness, of moral courage, and of the life-affirming power of human diversity. “I believe deeply that we cannot solve the challenges of our time unless we solve them together—unless we perfect our union by understanding that we may have different stories, but we hold common hopes; that we may not look the same and may not come from the same place, but we all want to move in the same direction: toward a better future for our children and our grandchildren.” —Barack Obama, Los Angeles Times, 2008
Download or read book The Inner Principal written by David Loader and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an account of how a principal combines the rational and emotional components of leadership to lead the transformation of a school. Most attempts at reform come from the outside, with people wishing to impose a curriculum and benchmarks; this book assumes that schools can transform themselves, but only when those involved in schools (especially principals) develop self-respect and achieve self-actualization. The author believes, and has demonstrated in his colleges, that a sensitive, thoughtful, proactive leadership might yet deliver the quality outcomes that the community desires from schooling.

Download or read book A Principled Principal written by Eric Todd EdD and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of the school principal has become more complexed and demanding in recent years. Where once, the site administrator was viewed as no more than a building manager, the numerous tasks of the principal can now range from monitoring daily attendance of the students and staff, to mediating and advocating for at-risk students and their families. Few would disagree, for example, that at least part of the reason administrative vacancies are growing has to do with unrealistic working conditions. Nearly half of new principals leave their schools after three years and nearly 20 percent leave every year (Superville 2020). The need for effective leadership continues to be one of the most important issues facing many schools and districts across the nation. Parents are seeking schools in which their children are nurtured by competent and qualified administrators and teachers. In pondering over what I wanted to share in this book, I began to think of the many different articles and published writing on the subject of effective school leadership. Volumes have been written on what great principals do and don't do. And so, rather than write another book filled with the many ideas written about leadership theory, in this book, I instead recount the many life lessons I've learned regarding the characteristics of a principled leader. My goal is to share what I've learned, with the hope that I might inspire those of us who have been at this for a while as well as what I believe might be very useful ideas to new and future school administrators who desire to be principled principals. "Dr. Todd's easy-going personality and joy for leading comes through in every page, making it seem as if you're having a conversation while enjoying a cup of coffee with a colleague, a mentor, or a friend." -Dr. Clara M. Guerrero, Principal, NEW Academy Canoga Park "Dr. Todd shares heartwarming anecdotes about his personal and educational life that shaped his administrative leadership style. His subsequent principles, reflective of these experiences, can be useful to future administrators and educators anywhere." -Dr. Ronald W. Solórzano, Professor of Education, Occidental College "A Principled Principal is a glimpse into the daily application of beliefs and values in a school setting. Most compelling is that Dr. Todd shares his life's journey from humble beginnings through his milestones to the emergence of being an effective leader." -Dr. Marta E. Sanchez, Professor of Education, Department of Teaching and Learning, Loyola Marymount University

Download or read book The Courage to Lead written by Allayna Yvette Ratliff and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty percent of all first-year principals leave within two years and those in low performing schools are even more likely to leave. It is imperative that school districts across the United States understand the urgency and necessity of developing urban principals--particularly first year urban principals--to lead and manage effective learning organizations through sound leadership practices. This self-reflective study uses an auto-ethnographic framework in order to understand key leadership lessons as it pertain to being a first-year principal. Using the power of self-reflection and the use of personal narratives, this qualitative study allows readers to gain a critical understanding of the initial development of principals--their challenges, their trials, and ultimately their success. In particular, drawing on the experiences chronicled in my yearlong journal along with archival data, I take the reader on an emotional journey of re-living the joys, triumphs, and challenges of my first year as a principal in a large urban district. Cross-referencing my experiences with empirical data from the literature either affirms or disaffirms that which we know to be true about first year urban principals. My findings center around the need to restore order and structure within schools through sound leadership practices, the cultural challenges that infiltrate schools based on their unique demographics, as well as the need to foster trust and sound relationships amongst families and community stakeholders. This analysis will add to the existing body of literature on educational reform in urban districts by understanding how first year principals lead and manage change.
