Principal Role Changes and Implications for Principalship Candidates.
Whitaker, Kathryn S.
International Journal of Educational Reform, v8 n4 p352-62 Oct 1999
A principal who exchanged jobs with a university professor explores changing principal roles, using a case-study approach. Principals' working world is characterized by overwhelming responsibilities, information perplexity, and emotional anxiety. Principals would appreciate intrinsic and extrinsic rewards, support networks, university-school partnerships, and improved preparation programs. (Contains 63 references.) (MLH)
