The Horror!...dreaded assessments. Ranging from practical topics like social media use in the classroom and parent-teacher conferences to more lighthearted sections such as "Pickup and Dropoff: An Exercise in Humanity" and "School Supplies: Yes, We Really Need All That Stuff," Go See the Principal offers comic relief, inspiration, and advice to those who need it the most.

This book is for administrators, aspiring administrators, and those who are interested in how schools operate on a day-to-day basis. Many principals will recognize the stressors that are described and that typify a shared-leadership school. Chapter 1 focuses on communication as the foundational skill for all principals, a skill that entails as much listening as it does speaking. Chapter 2 emphasizes the need for principals to trust themselves and to trust others, both of which are important in a job that tends to isolate. The next two chapters focus on the need to be receptive to change and the need for principals to recognize that the classroom is not the only place to learn and that all of a school's resources should be used to provide a practical, real-life learning environment. Chapter 5 examines the need to be prepared for large-scale changes, whereas chapter 6 provides advice on mediating the inevitable conflicts that visit all schools. The last few chapters discuss the importance of exercising the power of the principal's office; how to assess students, staff, and schools; and the need to maintain balance in one's life. A final section offers anecdotes and tips for thriving in the difficult job that is called the principalship. (Contains 59 references and an index.) (RJM)

The Principal is the story of a man whose actions mirror those of the 43rd president of the United States. When there is a vacancy for principal of Peterson High School, Anthony F. Harrison takes the position. He revamps the system to his liking and further divides his town. But when a fire erupts a few weeks into the school year and takes the lives of several students, the principal unites this divided town and becomes a hero, leading his school through the tough times that follow. Yet when the students do not perform well on state standardized tests, he is informed that his future depends on next years scores. The answer he searches for is simple: eliminate the poorer students and increase the test scores. The only way to do it, though, is to blame these students for the unimaginable crime of setting the fire and terrorizing the town.
