The Myth of the Superprincipal.
Copland, Michael A.
Phi Delta Kappan, v82 n7 p528-33 Mar 2001
Expectations for the principalship have mushroomed during the past 20 years. Principals are key reform agents and held mercilessly accountable. Candidates are in short supply. Capable principals are great assets, not heroic beings. Leadership is not centrally vested and must be distributed more broadly. (Contains 36 references.) (MLH)
