Synopsis

Take control of your school's performance and finally start seeing real results!
 
Get a Back Bone, Principal is a must read for school leaders and principals committed to moving their institutions from mediocrity to unprecedented success.
 
Forget big and fancy education words and theories.

Ignore fairytale strategies.
 
This book offers the down-and-dirty conversations you need to have - with yourself and your team - to see real improvement, increased test scores, and happier teachers (which leads to better-served students).
 
It starts with you as the leader taking control.
 
Principals who lead with a backbone spend little time putting out fires and most of their time on improving the quality of instruction - and that's why they get results. Every time.
 
You have that backbone already - but you get bogged down over time with daily challenges that suck focus away from the big picture of leading.
 
This book provides practical tools for regaining control and tapping into that backbone one step at a time. In it, you'll find simple guides, real-life examples and planning tools for strategizing, delivering and making it out alive from conversations with the most critical people on your campus:
 

• You
• Your instructional coach
• Your teaching staff
• Your department or grade teams
• Your most resistant teacher

Harness the power of that backbone and take control of your school. Take control of the teaching. Take control of the results.
