This edited volume examines innovative ways of preparing, supervising, and evaluating principals and explores factors that promote effective leadership practices. Chapter authors consider how principals- leadership practices affect teachers- instruction, satisfaction, commitment, retention, and effectiveness, and present evidence that principals can influence key student outcomes as well. Covering topics such as school leaders- use of time, their efforts to reduce implicit bias, how leadership practices are associated with teachers- workplace attitudes, leadership and student achievement, and how school leaders can best be supported under new federal legislation, this volume is a -must read- for educational leadership and policy faculty, school and district administrators, and researchers committed to promoting effective principal leadership.
