School principals must have continued support in their positions, as societal demands and accountability measures keep changing. Principals have become inundated with increased responsibilities often without the benefit support in the most critical areas. Too often, district personnel are not equipped to provide the learning needed in order to support school administrators. Support for Principals: Firsthand Experiences in Planning Programs and Activitiesis a compilation of support programs in critical areas to include the “how to” design and implementation of support programs. Support may include social/emotional factors, special education, school finance, technology integration, action research, and the role of higher education to name a few. Many districts have programs in place, but they do not attain the desired results because of the program design and readiness of staff. Each chapter will explain how to design an effective program and will also outline the district’s responsibility in the support.

In this edited book, Support for Principals: Firsthand Experiences in Planning Programs and Activities, Dr. Lee Westberry has assembled authors who can speak credibly to the absolute necessity of the work associated with implementing system approaches to leading and learning across such critical areas as technology, instructional supervision, social emotional learning, and special education. Complementary areas including school law and action research round out the necessity of schoolwide coherence to achieve real-world applications to practice. This is a much needed inside look at leading and learning in the schoolhouse because each chapter includes practical strategies alongside the theory that undergird them. The reader will walk away with road maps to increase leader, teacher, and system capacity to improve education. This is a must-read book that will fuel professional conversations and quickly become a resource for many years to come.
