Principals Don't Walk on Water: They Walk Through It

By Ngoma Howard and Andre Benito Mountain

The role of the principal is a complex mix of leadership, servanthood, theatre, pedagogy, and social justice. The interplay of contextual forces and inner drive make for a wonderful journey of discovery for those willing to take it all in. The image of the school leader confined to offices overseeing school operations is a thing of the past. The new school leader is immersed in the inner-workings of the school from community engagement, branding, to instruction. In the spirit of James Baldwin and Zora Neale Hurston, Andre Benito Mountain tells the stories of the African-American experience in urban schools. Principals Don't Walk on Water is his authentic truth of learning to lead in the midst of a global pandemic, social unrest, and increasing accountability.
