The transition from teacher to administration is a critical developmental period in the formation of administrative identity and praxis for which school districts and novices are seldom prepared. While the study of effective schools consistently highlights the importance of administrators in student success, there is little information on how newcomers become effective leaders, how they are supported once they assume these roles, and what individuals and organizations can do to facilitate them. This book examines administrative leadership transitions through the lens of newly appointed assistant principals.
