achievement
*** FREE Professional Development Guide Included ***
Principals are often called the second most crucial in-school
influencers (after teachers) of student learning. But what should
the principal do in order to maximize student achievement? One of
the best-known leadership authors in education, Fullan explains why
the answer lies neither in micro-managing instruction nor in
autonomous entrepreneurialism. He shows systematically how the
principal’s role should change, demonstrating how it can be done in
short order, at scale.
* Reveals the three key roles that administrators must play in
today’s schools
* Explains how to choose the right versus wrong drivers of school
success
* Filled with ‘action items’ to help implement Fullan’s program
effectively
* Includes strategies that have been successfully field-tested in
schools across the United States and Canada
