Living on a Tightrope
This workshop is designed to help principals be successful, which in turn helps the entire school organization to be successful. The training is based on the book Living on a Tightrope: A Survival Handbook for Principals, co-authored by Dr. Bill Sommers and Dr. Ruby K. Payne. While instructional leadership has been the principal's primary role as identified in educational literature, the reality is that the principal's role has become one of crisis management and an almost judicial approach to legal issues. Written from their experience as principals, and based on research from the education and business realms, Sommers and Payne outline practical strategies for the workplace. Among them: data-driven conversations to increase positive results, responding to conflict on individual and organizational issues, connecting personal identity to organizational goals and self-renewal, and sustaining oneself while serving everyone else. Also meant for staff developers, who may play a significant role in facilitating the way administrators conduct business. Audience: Recommended for administrators.
