Description:
A thorough reexamination of the role of the principalship must precede societal expectations and become an integral part of principal preparatory programs. It must not only be known who principals are in terms of their “position,” but more important, what they do in “practice” in today’s schools. This book, which is the heart-wrenching, compelling tale of Darryl Gilliam’s principalship experience, represents a contribution to the knowledge base and recognition effort. Most important, it represents an opportunity to tell, through the experiences of Principal Gilliam, a “story” of today’s school principal. Both the tribulations and the triumphs.
