Why does the principal trumpet player earn more than the principal cellist and principal clarinetist but less than the principal viola and principal flute players? What explains these differences?

While undergoing training on how to effectively lead, principals should concentrate on improving and creating collaborative relationships with the teachers under their command. One benefit of creating collaborative rather than totalitarian leadership includes taking some weight and responsibilities off the shoulders of a principal.

As I read this piece by Protheoroe, I thought about how the best walkthroughs and evaluations came from my vice principal, now our principal, two years ago. He really made walkthroughs a purpose.

Agents may prefer to shirk and consequently the principal will suffer. PA scholars may argue that…
Principals are important because it’s the head officer of the school. They take care of student matters and provide needed to them.

My examples of it are reviewing for quizzes/tests, if you are taking care of your younger siblings, and doing homework as well. Another detriment I disagree with our principal because it is everyone's decision of they decide to do it or…
Jcourse work assistant principals participate in involves the principalship and its duties, with little focus on the actual role of the assistant principal. One specific area assistant principals need professional development is in decision-making. In his study, Lattuca (2012), found that many programs do not appropriately train individuals for the realities of the administrative role. A similar study from Christie et al.
