Kafele begins a powerful examination of what it takes to make a school community achieve the greatest success in the classroom and beyond.  In The Principal 50: Critical Leadership Questions for Inspiring Schoolwide Excellence, Kafele, a veteran school administrator, guides motivated school leaders through 50 self-reflection exercises designed to yield a deeper understanding of the meaning behind the work that they do. Along with many other insights, this book shows how best to • Inspire and motivate students, teachers, and other school staff to approach their work with vigor and purpose; • Ensure that all students, regardless of color, creed, or origin, are valued and represented in the school culture;  • Focus mission and vision statements to address students' most critical needs and integrate shared values and objectives into the fabric of the school; and • Engage parents and other community members so that they feel a stake in the school's success.  Brimming with passion, written from the heart, and informed by hard-earned experience, this transformative book is essential reading for principals and other building-level administrators determined to reinvigorate their practice, revitalize their staff, and--most importantly--guarantee the strongest outcomes for students.","brand":"ASCD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152510206192,"sku":"9781416620174","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781416620174_p0.jpg?v=1763727192","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781416620174","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
