Like the previous edition, it provides a practical guide to practice and procedure in these vital areas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e...a valuable resource. * School Administrator *\u003cbr\u003eAs a former principal I find The Principal as School Manager to be very helpful with regard to many pertinent school management related issues. It is comprehensive, well written, and very informative—a wonderful handbook and ready reference for building administrators facing the many predictable and unpredictable events, problems, and questions that arise daily in a school building setting. The case studies alone prompt the type of thought and deliberation necessary for the decision-making in which a principal must engage daily. I encourage all principals to read and have a copy of this book close at hand.  -- Gary L. Storie\u003cbr\u003eSharp and Walter have used their knowledge of leadership and practical experiences to develop one of the very best books written for the principalship! The Principal as School Manager provides practical guidance for all  responsibilities of the building leader, including current topics such as cyberbullying and walk-throughs. This is a must read for future school leaders! -- Terry McDaniel, assistant professor, Bayh College of Education, Indiana State University; former principal and superintendent\u003cbr\u003eThe Principal as School Manager is an excellent resource for school administrators at any level. Sharp and Walter clearly articulate valuable knowledge about the complex role of the principal and outline the components for managing this challenging role. The key to high performing and successful schools begins with the principal. This book provides outstanding insight about high profile critical issues such as special education, social media, and accountability. It is a \"must have\" guide for all administrators and leaders in education. -- Bernadine Cervantes, assistant superintendent forschool leadership services, Corpus Christi Independent School District, Corpus Christi, Texas\u003cbr\u003eOnce again, Sharp and Walter have created a must-read\/user friendly\/go-to book for principals. Their format of providing \"The Principal's Casebook\" offers real world scenarios that principals face. And they have included \"Questions to Consider\" as an added bonus. My only regret about this book is that it wasn't yet published back when I first became a principal. It would have saved me a lot of headaches. -- Cissy Reynolds-Perez, principal, W.B. Ray High School, International Baccalaureate World School, National AVID School, Corpus Christi, Texas\u003cbr\u003eThe Principal as School Manager is a mandatory read in our Educational Administration Program. Students will reference the chapters regularly during their Master of Science experience. Our professors depend on the practical experiences and detail while lecturing and discussing modern school administration practices. The comprehensive perspective this book delivers is an essential part of our program. And the additions the authors have made are both welcome and necessary in keeping our students on the cutting edge of educational administration. -- Raul R.
