The Assistant Principal 50 by Baruti K. Kafele Pdf

You're an Assistant Principal. Whatever your status—the sole AP in your school, one of two or more APs in your school, a career AP, an AP aspiring to the principalship—yours is one of the most misunderstood and underutilized positions in education. Positioned between teachers and the principal, you are an instructional leader. However, you are not the leader of the school. Therefore, you must carefully navigate your way to ensure that you thrive in your role without "stepping on the toes" of your principal. In The Assistant Principal 50, award-winning, four-time principal Baruti Kafele presents reflective questions that encompass the breadth and depth of the assistant principalship—from finding your leadership "lane" to thriving and being an asset to your principal. Kafele infuses the book (which also includes guidance and insights for principals and aspiring assistant principals) from beginning to end with personal anecdotes and accounts of both failures and successes from his years as an assistant principal. He arms you with tools and insights that will drive you to view the assistant principalship as critical to the climate and culture of your school as well as to student achievement. You, assistant principal, play a critical role in your school's success. The questions that Kafele asks you to consider will aid you as you hone your leadership skills toward becoming an effective leader in your school.

Examining the Assistant Principalship by Alan R. Shoho,Bruce G. Barnett,Autumn K. Tooms Pdf

This edited book highlights the importance and complexity of the assistant principalship. As noted in all the chapters, the assistant principal is a critical partner in creating a professional learning community that serves all students well. Often neglected or ignored in the literature, assistant principals are more than disciplinarians and student or building managers. In the best of all worlds, they provide the professional support and partnership with their principals to create high-performing schools. Unfortunately, as noted in some of the chapters, the ideal and actual roles that assistant principals exercise often create a gap that seethes with disillusionment and dissatisfaction. The challenge for the profession is to better align the roles and expectations of assistant principals so that they can experience the best of being a school leader.

Administrative Passages by Denise Armstrong Pdf

This book makes a much needed contribution to what we know about the role and work of the assistant principal. It offers terri c insights into the different challenges one faces after being appointed assistant principal, and it provides readers with a rich array of data regarding the mental, emotional, social, and physical adjustments accompanying one’s transition to this new role. The author refreshingly moves beyond mere description of what assistant prin- pals do as they make their transition to that role, and actually helps us gain a sense of the lived experience of becoming and being an assistant principal. The book gives a realistic picture of the cognitive, social, and emotional con icts and confusions, the daily ups and downs, the fears, frustrations, and highs that are experienced by the men and women undertaking the passage from teaching to administration. This book is distinctive for a number of reasons. It is an empirical study of the role of the assistant principal. There are comparatively few helpful studies, and P- fessor Armstrong’s research adds a solid and much needed addition to that body of work. It focuses on the transition from being a teacher to being an assistant prin- pal, and it reveals much about how the assistant principal’s role transition differs markedly from that of the school principal.

New Voices in the Field by Gary N. Hartzell,Richard C. Williams,Kathleen T. Nelson Pdf

Virtually every secondary school in the United States with an enrollment over 600 students has at least one assistant principal. The position is critical to the operation of a school, and, for most secondary school principals and many district superintendents, the assistant principalship is their gateway to administration. New assistant principals find this new leadership role quite a change from their previous work as teachers. For them and others considering a move into administration, this new book is the next best thing to being there. Hartzell, Williams, and Nelson take you inside the role - as told to them by 90 first-year assistant principals working in secondary schools.

Tips for the Prospective Assistant Principal by Les Potter Ed D. Pdf

This book was prepared over the many years (30 to be exact) of my working in school administration. There are many ways that a teacher can be promoted to the assistant principalship and I hope this book will be helpful to the reader. Often teachers see the assistant principal as a position that gets them out of the classroom and will fatten their wallet at the same time. Both can be true but the roles and responsibilities of the assistant principal may not be for every teacher. Are you sure that there is a significant increase in pay for the time and aggravation that comes with the job? Do you want to work with student discipline and irate parents a large part of your day? Will you enjoy sitting on Friday nights at away football games or listening to a band concert till 9PM? Do you want to use the assistant principalship as a stepping stone to the principalship or are you a career assistant? The book discusses what you should think about before you start pursuing the assistant principalship and what to do if you do decide that this is the job for you. I include resume and interview tips to assist you in that very important part of the hiring process. Tips for the Prospective Assistant Principal was written for the aspiring administrator that wants to make a difference in American schools. I hope you find the information pertinent to you as you pursue your goal.
