This book was released on 2019 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the administrative demands that NYCDOE high school principals experience, and the support and training they received in relation to their daily responsibilities. The study examined if and how these principals achieved balance in completing their instructional and administrative duties. Interview data were collected and analyzed to determine the perceptions of these high school principals related to the impact of balanced leadership on student learning and achievement. This qualitative study further explored if there was a need for balanced leadership as part of the principal practice in NYCDOE high schools. The sample was drawn from a group of NYCDOE high school principals who have worked at least two years, but no more than ten years in their current roles as principals. Principals with two years or more of experience could provide insight on achieving a balanced leadership in their practice. By excluding principals with over ten years of experience, an effort was made to avoid individuals with extensive skill sets to be effective principals. Several key findings were identified. NYCDOE high school principals acknowledged that administrative duties are burdensome and challenging to complete, but they are critical to their work and overall student achievement was a significant finding that emerged from the interview data. The study data also revealed that principals had to strategically prioritize their responsibilities to ensure that the operation of their schools was efficiently managed. In addition, principals conveyed that limited administrative support had been offered prior to or after they had been appointed to the role.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes a great school leader? Contrary to what many believe, the answer is not tied to a certain kind of personality but to specific behaviors and actions that have positive effects on student achievement—behaviors and actions that any school leader can learn and put into practice. Over the last decade, thousands of school principals have done that, by implementing "balanced leadership," an approach that recognizes the need to both maintain and challenge the status quo in order to move schools forward. Building on the analysis that was first reported in School Leadership That Works, the authors of Balanced Leadership identify the 21 responsibilities associated with effective leadership and show how they relate to three overarching responsibilities: * Establishing a clear focus—keeping the work and the conversations targeted on the issues that matter most; * Managing change—understanding how to skillfully steer through the challenges associated with making improvements, both large and small; and * Developing a purposeful community—creating a sense among all teachers and staff that they are invested in student outcomes and that they can make a difference. For each of these areas, key points and specific practices are described in detail and illustrated with stories from school principals who have successfully learned how to become great leaders. Step-by-step tools provide clear guidance for readers who are ready to make the same kind of journey—one with the potential to transform them and the schools they serve.
