How to Become an Exemplary Middle School Principal
The critical importance of the principal in achieving an exemplary middle school is unquestioned, yet there has been little attention given to preparing middle school administrators, either by formal graduate study or through staff development programs. Here at least is a functional tool that any serious middle school principal can use in an effort to become a more effective principal. With the help of four instruments/activities, a principal can build a profile and baseline data, then examine and reflect on what a research study indicates are the six major roles of the middle school principal, and finally develop a personal plan for improvement. This unique do-it-yourself resource can help one carry out the almost overwhelming responsibilities of leading an exemplary middle school.
