Principals: Human Capital Managers at Every School
Kimball, Steven M.
Phi Delta Kappan, v92 n7 p13-18 Apr 2011

Principals also must manage their schools' teaching talent in a strategic way so that it is linked to school instructional improvement strategies, to the competencies needed to enact the strategies, and to success in boosting student learning. Teacher acquisition and performance management are just two of the many aspects of managing human capital, but they illustrate the complexity of strategically managing teaching talent.
