'I'm the principal' :
Includes bibliographical references. Collection: PSD Professor Stephen Dinham collection (some copies) "School principals perform a vital school leadership role; they significantly influence the quality of teaching, and the learning and development of students within their schools. 'I'm the principal' offers an insight into the world of instructional leadership within schools today, delivered through the authentic voices of fifty principals. This allows the reader to experience first-hand the successes and challenges met by school leaders, whilst performing a role that is universally acknowledged to be demanding and complex but, ultimately, incredibly rewarding. Based on research findings from the Australian 'I'm the principal' project, which considered key aspects and contributors to principal learning, action, influence and identity, through interviews with fifty practising principals, this book focuses on the principals and their experiences." - Back cover.
