Book description
How is What Makes a Great Principal unique, and what sets it apart from other leadership books?Many leadership books outline the "what" of effective leadership without delving into the "how." What sets What Makes a Great Principal apart from others are three key elements: a clear emphasis on what truly matters, narratives and strategies directly sourced from teachers and students, and a diverse range of perspectives that collectively paint a comprehensive picture of impactful school leadership.Our book distinctly identifies the five pillars essential to great principals, providing a framework that enables school leaders to prioritize daily tasks and establish long-term objectives. Drawing from a blend of research, personal experiences, and external expertise, we crafted these pillars understanding the constant demands on principals' attention. Recognizing the need for support in prioritization, our book equips school leaders with tools and strategies to implement these pillars effectively.Crucially, the means to put these pillars into action are shared by those directly under the principal's leadership-teachers and students. What Makes a Great Principal showcases poignant stories and specific practices from educators and learners, offering insights into what inspired and supported them in achieving their best work. By presenting school leadership through the lens of those most impacted by the principal, this book redefines the essence of effective leadership in education.
