The Dual Principalship: An Experiment at Sand Point and Cedar Park Schools, 1976-1977. Report No. 77-5.
Collister, Larry
This paper presents the results of an opinion poll given to a sample of parents, parent association board members, staff, and the principal at Cedar Park and Sand Point schools where the dual principalship experiment has been under way since September 1976. The data provided by this limited experiment do not justify a conclusion that the dual principalship is unfeasible or, for that matter, that the experiment should be established on a wider basis. Opinions given in the polls suggest that the principal in the experiment has overcome a number of difficulties in making the dual principalship successful at Sand Point-Cedar Park. The responsibilities of the principalship in two schools are far beyond those expected of one principal in a single building. One may expect the role of the principal to change dramatically over time if the dual principalship is to become a permanent feature of the administration of the Seattle schools. Appendixes contain questionnaires, responses, and an evaluation of the program prepared by the principal in the experiment. (Author/IRT)
