Where Have All the Principals Gone?
Gilman, David Alan; Lanman-Givens, Barbara
Educational Leadership, v58 n8 p72-74 May 2001
Discusses several reasons many teachers are unwilling to apply for the principalship: Too little pay, costly and irrelevant requirements, too many pressures, too many hats to wear, not enough time, too little authority. Suggests several changes in principal's role, compensation, training, and recruitment to attract more qualified teachers for the principalship. (Contains 10 references.) (PKP)
