Designed to teach the principal to efficiently and effectively accomplish noninstructional roles, the third edition of The Principal as School Manager offers advice on expectations and survival techniques to ensure the principal's longevity in the district. Like the previous editions, this book is an essential guide to practice and procedure. Its chapter on school legal issues will be especially useful for principals dealing with improper Internet usage, drug testing, and off-campus searches. Other chapters will explain the role of the assistant principal, the importance of maintaining safe schools in a climate of violence, and the relationship between the principal and the superintendent. This third edition contains new chapters and sections on managing the school curriculum, special education, classroom walk-throughs, creating a healthly school environment, and cyberbullying. Appropriate also for graduate courses on the principalship, educational administration, educational leadership, and personnel administration, The Principal as School Leader is the go-to guide for both novice and veteran school principals.

Whatever your profession, a common base of knowledge and standards of performance are required for admission to practice. As an educator, while it is true that the individual states administer actual licensure procedures, they do so based on core standards established across states. These case studies, which cover a cross-section of these core values, are highly useful for people preparing to become educational leaders and for current practicing administrators.

This is volume 1 in The German Library in 100 Volumes. It includes a comprehensive foreword to the entire series by the general editor Volkmar Sanders. It also features the following works: The Older Lay of Hildebrand, The Nibelungenlied, The Younger Lay of Hildebrand, The Battle of Ravenna, Biterolf and Dietleib, and The Rose Garden (Version A). In many ways, German, as well as all modern Western literature, is grounded in the epic (or heroic) poetry of this seminal volume.
