The Empowered Principal is for the new principal who feels
overwhelmed by the responsibility they have taken on as a school
leader.
It's no surprise principals feel overwhelmed and exhausted. Every day,
they deal with federal and state regulations, district policies, and
parental pressures. The expectations on educators are higher than ever,
tempting many principals to consider alternate livelihoods. Former
school leader and teacher Angela Kelly Robeck helps principals who feel
discouraged at the lack of control they feel over their job and personal
life, allowing them to find a new perspective on working to exhaustion,
saying yes when they don't want to, and completely dreading going to
work each day.
The Empowered Principal provides relief for readers by pointing out
that they have the power and ability to manage the results in their life
by adjusting their approach and being mindful of their thoughts and
emotional state--regardless of whether they choose to stay in their job
or even pursue an alternate career. Angela shares how to manage feelings
of overwhelm, reasons why school leaders stay in their jobs, how to
confidently stay or peacefully go (and how to choose, and why educators
are afraid to speak up. The Empowered Principal guides principals to
reform the way they live and work as an educational leader and allows
them to work each day with joy and accomplishment.
