Training School Principals as Talent Developers: An International
Perspective focuses on how to prepare school principals to lead their
schools by training and supporting teachers in their craft. The main
goal of schools is improving teaching and learning in order to maximize
students' potential to be college ready and career ready. Principals
play significant role in improving the instructions which improves
students' learning. In order to do so, we need inspiring principals to
be talent developers. The book is comprised of chapters written by
faculty and researchers from various countries and offers multiple
perspectives on training and developing principals to be talent
developers.
In the ten chapters of this edited book, we wanted to address the
perspectives of "who is the role model of a principal, what are the
qualities needed to make a good principal and what are the challenges
that the talent developer principals encounter to achieve their goals.
We also wanted to broaden the lens by addressing these perspectives in
the United States and globally.
