the principal's role must change to maximize student
achievement
*** FREE Professional Development Guide Included ***
Principals are often called the second most crucial in-school
influencers (after teachers) of student learning. But what should
the principal do in order to maximize student achievement? One of
the best-known leadership authors in education, Fullan explains why
the answer lies neither in micro-managing instruction nor in
autonomous entrepreneurialism. He shows systematically how the
principal's role should change, demonstrating how it can be done in
short order, at scale.
* Reveals the three key roles that administrators must play in
today's schools
* Explains how to choose the right versus wrong drivers of school
success
* Filled with "action items" to help implement Fullan's program
effectively
* Includes strategies that have been successfully field-tested in
schools across the United States and Canada
Michael Fullan, Order of Canada, is a professor emeritus at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto. He consults with leaders of education systems worldwide and is the award-winning author of more than thirty books, including Leading in a Culture of Change, The Six Secrets of Change, and Change Leader.

"This revealing and powerful book comes just in time, as
we launch the biggest education reform in the past fifty years. It
should be required reading not only for principals, but perhaps
even more importantly for those who support and lead
them."
--Laura Schwalm, CaEdPartners; former superintendent,
Garden Grove, California
"After decades of studying, working with, and enhancing
the lot of principals . . . Fullan's conclusion? Principals
are needed now more than ever, and he's smack on target. He
doesn't mince words, yet instills hope and confidence. Simply
great . . . this book should be on every leader's desk.
Another bull's-eye!"
--Willam Parrett, director, Center for School
Improvement and Policy Studies, Boise State University, Idaho
"I just read The Principal and I am on fire and in
love. I couldn't put it down! Fullan's uniquely succinct brilliance
for soaring above the noise and clutter that bogs us down is
incredibly energizing and inspiring."
--Alice Thomas, president and CEO, Center for
Development and Learning, Metairie, Louisiana
