Break out of the traditional, narrow role of principal and transform
your school for the better
In 2014 Michael Fullan set his sights on the daily needs of school
leaders in his bestselling book The Principal. This updated edition
shows how the principal's role continues to change--alongside our
changing world--and how we can embrace the transformation in short
order. As crucial in-school influencers of student learning, principals
have an opportunity and an obligation to maximize student achievement.
But how? In The Principal 2.0, Fullan explains why the answer lies
neither in micro-managing instruction nor in autonomous
entrepreneurialism. He shows a new way forward that allows principals to
expand their roles without overstepping and contribute to the
development of the whole school.
Even in difficult times of crisis, there's room for principals to take
action. In The Principal 2.0, Fullan explains how to loosen focus on
accountability and instead concentrate on capacity-building; focus less
on technology and more on pedagogy; abandon fragmented strategies; and
forgo individualistic solutions in favor of collaborative effort.
