A school is only as good as its principal. This quip forms the thesis of Better Principals as it provides a bird’s eye view on the enactment of Haberman’s eleven core functions of a star principal. Better Principals is imperative for two main reasons. First, the achievement gap between 20 million children in poverty and their mainstream counterparts is continuing to become even wider. Many students are constantly subjected to inequality of educational opportunity, which limits their future opportunities. Second, Haberman is one of the most prolific producers of administrators of the twentieth century (and into the twenty-first century). He reminds us that quality school systems, with quality leaders, benefit our society. Haberman explained that there is often selection blindness when it comes to identifying school leaders, and this deficiency has many negative consequences for education in general, and learners in particular. Haberman has generated theories, training programs and tools to engender substantive changes needed to produce better schools. Each chapter in this volume contains reflection questions for discussion to remind us all why selecting quality principals must be paramount when hiring school leaders. These illustrative book chapters emphasize the execution of Haberman's star principal ideology. Praise for Better Principals, Better Schools “Not every educator is suited to leading – or teaching – in the most challenging urban schools. Yet, nowhere else is excellence in leading – and teaching -- more critical to the success of students. This volume based on the pioneering work of Martin Haberman offers a practical response to those who say the task of instructional leadership is beyond the capability of principals. The authors offer concrete examples of how successful urban school leaders find the time and capacity to inspire and manage learning under difficult conditions. Just as important, the authors ground their examples in a set of clear justifiable principles that can be used by others to guide their own practice.” Dr. Philip Hallinger Professor, Chulalongkorn University (Thailand) “If great teaching and more of it are the key ingredients for any successful school, then great leadership is the critical path. Better Principals, Better Schools turns this theory into model lessons for all current and aspiring school leaders.” Mike Feinberg Co-founder KIPP Schools

“A common-sense approach to combining the right amount of love and accountability to lift people and organizations to new heights.” —Jon Gordon, eleven-time bestselling author of The Power of Positive Leadership and The Energy Bus What does it take to impact change? What tools and techniques can principals employ to maximize student achievement? Walter Peddy’s Lift for Principals is a guide that supports educational leaders in the mission to impact the world student by student, teacher by teacher. Through its parable story of Colby, principal of a struggling school, whose personal origins were supported through his grandfather who raised him, Lift offers insight and inspiration to those in the educational field. Colby’s lessons teach him how to care, coach others, and have courage through difficult moments. Applying the parable of Colby to leadership principles, Peddy offers an in-depth guide to leadership methods, and equips readers with the tools, techniques, and decision-making strategies needed to lift their organization and personal leadership skills from good to great. “When Dr. Peddy talks about ‘lifting’ he is talking about caring, coaching, and having the courage necessary to help people be the best they can be. Anybody that has a team needs to read this book and learn how to ‘lift’ using the 3Cs!” —Damon West, keynote speaker and bestselling author of The Coffee Bean
