Crafted from authentic experiences shared by principals, Reality
Calling: The Story of a Principal s First Semester reveals
fictional Principal Joe Gentry s first few months on the job. We
see his efforts to establish relationships with students, staff and
community, handle unexpected (and sometimes unimaginable) events,
and pursue the often elusive concept of instructional leadership.
Throughout the process, Joe seeks guidance and support from his
wife, mentors and two friends, who are also new principals. As the
months roll by, he strives to navigate the complex ups and downs of
school leadership, find personal and professional balance, apply
the standards that govern school leaders and learn from his
mistakes. This extended, real-world case study provides readers an
authentic, unvarnished account of a fully-human principal knee deep
in what is appropriately called the toughest job in education. The
book concludes with Joe and his two principal friends reflecting on
lessons learned and setting goals for the second half of the school
year -- revealed in this book's companion, Seeking Balance: The
Story of a Principal's Second Semester.
