School Principals as Threshold Guardians: An Exploratory Study.
Stetter, Michael W.; Willower, Donald J.
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v31 n1 p2-10 Mar 1985
Forty-five principals were interviewed concerning their experiences with and perceptions about serious incidents of teacher misconduct. The principals protected the image of the school by heading off, dampening, and containing the incidents. They preferred to resolve incidents in-house, but resorted to formal sanctions when necessary. (Author/DC)
