The principal’s role is increasingly understood as a critical
lever for school improvement. Yet the job can be a solitary one,
offering few opportunities to reflect with colleagues. What does it
take to manage the work of continuous improvement—to push staff
members constantly to operate outside their comfort zones? What
dilemmas and challenges must principals confront? How can school
leaders learn from their mistakes and move forward? In Becoming a
School Principal, Sarah E. Fiarman describes her first few years as
a school principal committed to enacting a powerful vision of
leading and learning. Drawing thoughtfully on the literature of
school reform and change leadership, Fiarman discusses a wide range
of topics, including empoweringteachers, building trust, addressing
racial and economic inequities, and supporting a culture of
continuous learning, as well as thornier issues such as learning to
use authority skillfully, dealing with resistance, and managing
supervision and evaluation. The book addresses common challenges
and highlights missteps as well as successes. A contributing author
to several leading books on school reform and instructional
improvement, Fiarman engages readers in a lively, frank, and
revealing conversation aboutbuilding the vision and capacity to
provide effective instruction for all students and the intensely
personal process of learning to lead.
