Inhaltsangabe

Staff confidence in the principal is earned not only by his or her commitment to educational quality and understanding of the teaching and learning process, but also by the calm, orderly tone of the building′s day to day operational mode. Nothing demoralizes a staff more than cancelled meetings, postponed teacher observations and surprises which negate their instructional plans.

Concerned that highly intelligent administrators often fail because of their lack of organizational skills, this book stresses the "nuts and bolts" of the principal′s responsibilities. With the monthly calendars, checklists, and sample documents provided in The Middle School Principal′s Calendar, the elementary school principal will find it easy to organize and keep his or her school running smoothly.
