The Principal's Handbook: Practical Details for a Smooth Operation

The Principal's Handbook is ungraded. All of the routines, practices, and policies suggested can be use in all school settings. Specific information can be initiated to serve the grade level of the school environment. This handbook was prepared for the principal to use as a guide to bringing to all personnel in the school a ready reference in regard to current instructional practices and existing routines, which will form a part of the policy of the school. All of the documents are meant to be examples which could easily be transformed to meet the needs of any building administrator. This model handbook is a resource to be used by the principal to create a similar booklet reflecting the principal's personal leadership style. The material in this handbook is the "nitty gritty" of the routines and policies which are needed to assure a good start, AND MAINTAIN A PRODUCTIVE ACADEMIC YEAR.
