Break out of the traditional, narrow role of principal and transform your school for the better

In 2014 Michael Fullan set his sights on the daily needs of school leaders in his bestselling book The Principal. This updated edition shows how the principal’s role continues to change―alongside our changing world―and how we can embrace the transformation in short order. As crucial in-school influencers of student learning, principals have an opportunity and an obligation to maximize student achievement. But how? In The Principal 2.0, Fullan explains why the answer lies neither in micro-managing instruction nor in autonomous entrepreneurialism. He shows a new way forward that allows principals to expand their roles without overstepping and contribute to the development of the whole school.

Even in difficult times of crisis, there’s room for principals to take action. In The Principal 2.0, Fullan explains how to loosen focus on accountability and instead concentrate on capacity-building; focus less on technology and more on pedagogy; abandon fragmented strategies; and forgo individualistic solutions in favor of collaborative effort.

• Discover the three key roles that administrators must play in order to have the biggest impact
• Foster the professional capital of teachers and get more accomplished for all students
• Find "action items" to help implement this proven program effectively
• Adopt strategies that have been successfully field-tested in schools across the United States and Canada

A BREAKTHROUGH UPDATE TO THE BESTSELLER ON MAXIMIZING SCHOOLWIDE POTENTIAL IN THE ROLE OF PRINCIPAL

For decades Michael Fullan has written influentially about how the world of education is changing and transforming, thanks to new technology, formalized achievement standards, and shifting social expectations. The Principal is his bestselling examination of how and why the principal’s role itself must change. In this new edition, Fullan returns with an update on the latest research related to school leadership and new material to support the core concepts that have made the book so renowned.

But what should the principal do to maximize student achievement? In this book, Fullan shows how principals have been boxed into a narrow role that undercuts their ability to develop the whole school. He sheds light on how, in times of crisis, it’s all too easy for principals to do the wrong thing—to take actions that are ineffective or even counterproductive. Using case examples, Fullan shows how principals can develop “the internal system” of the school with teachers, students, and parents in order to be effective inside the school, while building relations with the district, and with outside partners.

“Fullan is a master of unearthing the nuances of leadership that help create success. This book and the narratives within highlight successful strategies for system transformation based on the critical role of the principal.”
—JORDAN TINNEY, Retired Superintendent, Surrey School District, British Columbia

“This book provides essential guidance for principals on how to navigate change and thrive at a time when school leadership has never been more critical.”
—AMANDA DATNOW, Chancellor’s Associates Endowed Chair and Professor, Education Studies, Associate Dean and Faculty Equity Advisor, School of Social Sciences, University of California, San Diego

“Michael Fullan lights the path and continues to ignite our mission as educational leaders. If we have the courage, his words here will show us the way to improve our teams, our schools, our systems, and ourselves to positively impact student outcomes.”
—DAN WILHARBER, Principal, Scott Highlands Middle School, Minnesota
