Former and current school principals Bergman et al. provide a guide for elementary school principals to help them with daily challenges in leadership and administration. The toolkit combines forms, procedures, sample letters, charts, and checklists with strategies for planning the school year, decision making, teacher observation and evaluation, curriculum development and renewal, assessment, testing, reporting student progress to parents, programs for students with special needs, student discipline, professional development programs, communication, parent and community relations, technology, budgeting, safe school environments, class placement policies, scheduling, staffing and hiring, and fostering school culture. Suggestions have been drawn from discussions with principals in urban, suburban, and rural settings. All forms are available online. There is no bibliography.
