Reviews"The principalship is a complex and challenging role, and is key to supporting student and staff success. In The Principal's Hot Seat, the authors bring a depth of experience, understanding of relevant and timely issues facing today's leaders, and a synthesis of key research implications into our classroom through short leadership vignettes and video clip scenarios. These relevant cases provide a timely resource for addressing the key issues facing school leaders today. I highly recommend this as a read for aspiring administrators seeking to better understand--and tackle--challenges and opportunities in today's schools." --Bill Sterrett, Professor and Associate Dean at the Watson College of Education at the University of North Carolina Wilmington "Being a principal has never been more complex or more difficult. It is difficult to be fully prepared for all of the challenging scenarios that principals encounter each day. Books such as this one provide an excellent opportunity to engage in both preparation and reflection. It would be valuable for a principal to engage with on an individual basis and also provide for rich conversations in groups. I think both new and experienced principals would find value in it as well as those studying to become building leaders in the future." --Jadi Miller, EdD, Director of Assessment, Elkhorn (NE) Public Schools "Case studies are incredibly important because they situate school leaders' learning in authentic dilemmas and contexts. With 19 different scenarios, The Principal's Hot Seat provides both text and video simulations that address real-world problems of practice for principals such as teacher evaluation, special education, bullying, and professional learning communities. The numerous discussion questions that are provided after each scenario are guaranteed to spark robust conversation regarding educational leaders' decision-making and problem-solving. I can't recommend this resource highly enough for school districts, principal preparation programs, and administrators' practice with courageous conversations." --Scott McLeod, Professor of Educational Leadership, University of Colorado Denver, and Founding Director, CASTLE "The Principal's Hot Seat is an enthralling, absolute must-read for current and aspiring school leaders. It brings the reader up close into the day-to-day, oh so dynamic, interactions that are quite simply engrossing. Readers will be enlightened and transformed through the very pertinent and leadership lessons with relevance with every school context imaginable. The authors do an amazing job in igniting the reader to think clearly and critically about the multitude of "unexpected" situations and issues that arise in education. Anyone involved in the development of school leaders will treasure this book because it provides an avenue to help future leaders become both more observant, and introspective." --Micah Ali, Founder, California Association of Black School Educators, The Principal's Hot Seat is an enthralling, absolute must-read for current and aspiring school leaders.

SynopsisThis book moves beyond dry case studies to provide readers with a window into the ways principals seek to navigate challenging, unpredictable, and authentic school leadership dilemmas., The Principal's Hot Seat: Observing Real-World Dilemmas, 2nd edition provides a window through which aspiring and practicing school leaders observe and evaluate some of the most challenging, authentic, and unpredictable interactions common to the principalship. With video footage from an unscripted role play in which teachers, parents, and stakeholders share a variety of issues and emotions with the principal, the Hot Seat challenges readers to unpack the ways principals attempt to address routine and unpredictable challenges in school leadership. From distraught, pushy, or irate parents to teachers refusing to collaborate, curriculum controversies and cultural responsivity, readers assume the "hot seat" and feel the challenge principals face in navigating conversations and issues in ethical, individual, standards-based ways. Each chapter begins with stage setting and scenario background information, along with relevant literature, research, and resources, followed by a transcript of the interaction, and questions promoting discussion, reflection, and constructive critique. Each scenario comes alive through several minutes of video footage of the unscripted interaction, allowing examination of body language, tone of voice, and non-verbal communication. The second edition adds new scenarios related to teacher collaboration, controversial curriculum, current social issues, updated literature and resources, and cases in which the principal must interact with more than one stakeholder at a time. New questions examine principals' performance related to equity, when to seek assistance from others, and more., The Principal's Hot Seat: Observing Real-World Dilemmas , 2nd edition provides a window through which aspiring and practicing school leaders observe and evaluate some of the most challenging, authentic, and unpredictable interactions common to the principalship.
