Administrative Passages (eBook, PDF)

Navigating the Transition from Teacher to Assistant Principal

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The transition from teacher to administrator is a critical period. While the study of effective schools consistently highlights the importance of administrators in helping students succeed, there is little information on how novices become effective administrators, what measures need to be taken to facilitate the transition, and how novices should be supported once they assume their new roles in order to realize their full potential. This book examines administrative leadership transitions through the lens of newly appointed assistant principals, helping readers see what works and what doesn't work in making an effective school administrator. It is written for university and school administrators and researchers in education administration and organizational leadership.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"Denise Armstrong has done an excellent job in bringing together theory and practice in this book. ... Armstrong gives a compelling picture of the transitions that have to be made as teachers move into more formal leadership positions. ... I would recommend it because ... the way that it draws together work on transition and suggests new ways of looking at the way transitions happen. ... It is certainly a book that I would recommend both to postgraduate students and teachers in schools." (Megan Crawford, Educational Review, November, 2011)
