Overview of a complex job

This book attempts to nail down exactly what it means to be a principal in the current environment of public education. This is a delicate task to accomplish in one volume but the book accomplishes this quite well. Topics covered range from community relations to performance evaluation to facilities management. Even more traditional topics of leadership, organization, and school law are covered. rather than attempting to be a "how to" book it focuses on general theories, realizing that situations on specific campuses will be different. The book is very readable, never bogging down in technical jargon. It is a good place to start when someone needs an overview of the actual tasks involved in being a school principal.
