Abstract	This book, for the practicing school principal, is intended to bridge the gap from the traditional notion of the principal's role to innovative conceptions that respond to changing conditions and demands. It describes the traditional understandings of the role and then proposes innovative conceptions that focus on change and instructional improvement. Chapter titles reflect the book's contents: (1) "New Conceptions of the Principalship"; (2) "Historical View of the Principal's Role"; (3) "The Principal as Learner"; (4) "The Principal as Mentor"; (5) "Principal as Supervisor"; (6) "Principal as Leader"; (7) "Principal as Manager"; (8) "Principal as Politician"; (9) "Principal as Advocate"; (10) "Becoming an Innovative Principal"; and (11) "Looking to the Future as a Principal." Each chapter contains a chapter conclusion; case studies and questions related to the latest thinking in the field; various activities, including questions and assignments for peer-, whole class-, and self-reflection; professional dilemma boxes, which are situations to consider; examples and illustrations from actual principals' and schools' experiences; a list of key terms; a list of useful websites; and a list of references. (Contains a subject index.) (WFA)
