In Navigating the Principalship, James P. Spillane and Rebecca
Lowenhaupt look at the major challenges of the principal position,
examining how new principals adapt to the role, set an
instructional agenda, and build cooperation and collaboration. They
focus in particular on the dilemmas that mark the principalship-the
inevitable, complicated conflicts that arise from a clash of
worthwhile values and resist simple solutions, such as: Addressing
the demands of various internal and external stakeholders.
Accomplishing seemingly limitless tasks in limited time. Sharing
leadership duties while maintaining ultimate responsibility for the
school and everyone in it. Creating a safe space for teaching and
learning while building bridges to the outside world. Balancing
work life and home life. Based on original research conducted with
new principals in an urban environment, and rich with authentic
voices discussing real conflicts and proven strategies, this book
presents pragmatic ways to manage the most difficult parts of the
job. Use it to spark both reflection and action and chart a course
for effective, rewarding school leadership.
