O knihe

What really goes on in the principal's
office?
What's Shaking The School reveals the
school community through the eyes of a seasoned educator and
school leader. With candor and caring, humor and pathos,
the experiences of one elementary principal shed light upon
other questions we have all pondered:
How do
students at school react to home situations, outside events,
teacher personalities and curriculum?
What do
young people want to know about maturation?
How
do they view the adults who work with them?
What
is the most positive, powerful thing that can happen for a
child at school?
How do parents react when their
child is affected by school situations?
How do
teachers and administrators cope with curriculum changes,
student challenges and "difficult" parents?
Are
all those hours teachers spend over report cards really
worth it?
How does the school secretary keep
smiling?
Is there any power in the
principalship?
How one person dealt with the
forces that impact our schools is the main theme of What's
Shaking The School. This school principal kept a daily
journal as she worked through her twelve years in two large
Victoria schools. Memos, letters, student work and journal
entries give immediacy and integrity to this very personal
account of a role everyone has opinions about and few
actually understand. Neither a manual nor a simple
collection of amusing anecdotes, What's Shaking The School
will appeal to anyone who has pondered the real work of its
appointed leader.
