ABSTRACT
Educators who want to promote good leadership find value in examining what effective principals do that other school leaders do not. The author has had the good fortune to conduct or participate in many different studies examining effective principals. In each study, researchers visited a variety of schools, some with outstanding principals and others with less-than-stellar leaders. Though these studies yielded many insights, their greatest contribution to this book was to focus on the question, "What do the most effective principals do differently?" This book identifies some of the specific practices that set apart the outstanding principals. More importantly, the goal is to help all school leaders adopt the best practices of their most effective colleagues.
