Book Description
Casanova - a former elementary school principal - examines the role of the school secretary, bringing recognition to a person who has been too long under-valued, under-paid and under-appreciated. She has broken new ground with an exploration of an occupation where women are the dominant force and on whom everyone depends, from students and parents to teachers and administrators.

Book Description
The Principal's Office is the first historical examination of one of the most important figures in American education. Originating as a head teacher in the nineteenth century and evolving into the role of contemporary educational leader, the school principal has played a central part in the development of American public education. A local leader who not only manages the daily needs of the school but also represents district and state officials, the school principal is the connecting hinge between classroom practice and educational policy. Kate Rousmaniere explores the cultural, economic, and political pressures that have impacted school leadership over time and considers professionalization, the experiences of women and people of color, and progressive community initiatives. She discusses the intersections between the role of the school principal with larger movements for civil rights, parental and community activism, and education reform. The school principal emerges as a dynamic character in the center of the educational enterprise, ever maneuvering between multiple constituencies, responding to technical and bureaucratic demands, and enacting different leadership strategies. By focusing on the historic development of school leadership, this book provides insights into the possibilities of school improvement for contemporary school leaders and reformers.

Book Description
"According to Portin, Schneider, DeArmond, and Gundlach (2003), "understanding what the school needs and then delivering what is required is the core job of the principal" (p. 9). This research study seeks to tell the story of young female principals practicing in the twenty-first century. Autoethnography served as the primary qualitative approach utilized in the study, with additional focused interviews and document analysis with other young female principals serving as secondary data sources. Structural corroboration including data triangulation and methods triangulation contribute to the trustworthiness of the autoethnographic data. Presentation of findings is reported in a constructed narrative by weaving together data from all corroborated sources. Harry Wolcott's 1973 study examining Ed Bell's work as a middle-aged, male principal served as the foundation for this conceptual framework, borrowing two specific categories from that book: (a) A Day in the Life, and (b) The Annual Cycle of the Principalship. These categories are discussed in the current study, portraying the 2010 reality and drawing comparisons with Wolcott's (1973) descriptions. Key factors impacting the daily work of principals, including the context of the twenty-first century (i.e., educational law and policy, technology, and socio-cultural factors), and individual personal influences, are also presented in an attempt to better understand the daily work of these young, female school leaders. The intent of this study is to benefit educational leaders and preparation programs by providing an alternative lens of the various responsibilities that define the principalship."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.
