Most of us have experience with school, either as a student, a parent or maybe as a teacher. But few people have experienced walking in the shoes of a school principal. Meet the Principal is a collection of stories from one principal's experiences. These stories show the many intriguing challenges a school leader faces each day. Most principals have stories just like these. Some are funny, some are sad, some may surprise you, and some may touch your heart. When you put them all together as a book, they portray a realistic view of the complex and delicate relationships all principals juggle while on their journey into the very heart of education. "This book is a must read for anyone who wants an exceptionally honest and poignant account about the incredible world school principals face each day." - R. Zinn, retired school superintendent "There is a lot more to being a principal than most folks would believe. It should be required reading for new principals." D. Mercer, President of the YMCA of the USA (retired) This UPDATED and retitled edition (Originally "Beyond the ABCs: What Does a Principal Do All Day?" Dec 2018) includes new chapters and updated details.
