How the Principalship Has Changed: Lessons from Principals' Life Stories.
Brubaker, Dale L.
NASSP Bulletin, v79 n574 p88-95 Nov 1995
The life stories of (North Carolina) principals in a graduate education class reveal vast changes over the past 20 years. "Good ol' boy" superintendents and principals have been replaced by self-interested political "sharks" concerned more with image than substance. Fortunately, principals with resiliency, caring values, and nonpolitical "can-do" attitudes prevail. (MLH)
