From the Principal's X-Files

The Unexpected Tales of a Practical Principal

From the Principal's X-Files examines day-to-day, real-world situations and events that are often humorous and, at times, poignant as a point of reference for implementing best practices to create and maintain effective and nurturing school cultures. The ultimate goal of this guide for practical principals is to help all stakeholders productively and cooperatively interact and achieve the mission and vision of their schools. Hollaway and Hollaway strive to assist novice and seasoned administrators in creating and maintaining high performing school communities in which every stakeholder—from students, to parents, to staff members, to school leaders, and to community members—feels invested in his school. Throughout the book, the quality of the relationships between stakeholders is reiterated as the greatest predictor of school success. School administrators must enhance those vital relationships within their schools to establish a single-minded and effective school culture that values inclusion and connectedness among all actors in the pursuit of a common goal.

The Principal and Leadership

The first of six volumes in the "Elementary Principal Series," this booklet identifies three major components of the building administrator's role (as chief administrator, operations manager, and instructional leader) and concentrates on instructional leadership as the key to educational excellence. Research shows that principals spend most of their time on administrative or managerial tasks. Obstacles to exercising instructional leadership may be overcome by clarifying expectations regarding the knowledge, skills, and beliefs associated with this concept. Today's knowledge base is substantial, thanks to research on effective schools, effective teaching, school improvement, and effective business organizations. Essential instructional leadership skills include envisioning, communicating, developing trust, motivating others, decision-making, planning, and promoting collegiality. Equally important are leaders' belief systems, especially their self-concept and treatment of others. The effective principal blends knowledge, skills, and beliefs when working with teachers and parents to develop an educational philosophy that shapes decisions regarding the school's goals and objectives. The principal is also responsible for fostering a high quality staff development program, a positive school climate, and active community involvement. Principals' greatest leadership challenge will be dealing with a newly restructured teaching force with greater professional autonomy. (13 references) (MLH)

The Principal Influence

A Framework for Developing Leadership Capacity in Principals

Principals navigate the dynamic complexities and subtleties of their schools every day. They promote, facilitate, and lead efforts to achieve both tangible and intangible results throughout the school community. They fulfill a role that includes counseling, budgeting, inspiring, teaching, learning, disciplining, evaluating, celebrating, consoling, and a million other critical functions. As the principalship has evolved and grown, so have the expectations of it. With that in mind, ASCD developed the Principal Leadership Development Framework (PLDF). The PLDF establishes a clear and concise definition of leadership and includes clear targets that support the ongoing growth and development of leaders. Using the Framework, principals will learn to capitalize on their leadership roles: * Principal as Visionary * Principal as Instructional Leader * Principal as Engager * Principal as Learner and Collaborator The PLDF also offers 17 criteria of effective practice that allow leaders to focus on behaviors that have the greatest direct effect on the culture and status of learning and teaching. Coupled with the PLDF are tools for self-reflection that help principals identify and strengthen their reflective habits. Whether you want to develop your own capacities or support the development of a group of principals, assistant principals, or aspiring principals, The Principal Influence can help channel your efforts in ways that promote successful teaching and student learning.
