Reviews / Votes
"The scope and complexity of an administrative position is one of the greatest challenges that an aspiring assistant principal faces. This book provides a foundational framework for all potential assistant principals... I would buy this book and use it as a reference for helping teachers transition to entry level administration, as well as use it in the university setting."--Mike Andersen, Principal, Barry Goldwater High School, USA
"As the academic and social expectations of the principal change, the role of the assistant principal in regards to required knowledge, skills, and instructional leadership has changed... This book would be valuable in an Introduction to Leadership class, and I would recommend it to current and aspiring administrators."
-- Debbie Brockett, Principal, Las Vegas High School, USA
