Teacher’s bookshelf: I’m the Principal

In the new book  I’m the Principal , authors Stephen Dinham, Kerry Elliott, Louisa Rennie and Helen Stokes use the Australian Professional Standard for Principals as a framework to consider key aspects and contributors to principal learning, action, influence and identity. I’m the Principal is a record of the study of the work of the principal today, containing first-hand comments drawn from interviews with 50 practising principals from the various sectors and levels of Australian school education. In this extract for Teacher readers, the authors are exploring what it means to be a principal and the stressors they face.
