Mungal and Sorenson have explored 8 Daily Steps that successful school administrators must consider to grow as instructional leaders. Steps to Success: What Successful Principals Do Every Day is a must read for any current and aspiring school administrator. The authors have navigated the murky waters of how successful school principals maneuver the challenges faced every day.
A useful text for aspiring principals. It provides a roadmap for the dilemmas and challenges that lay ahead for someone who wants to make a difference as a school leader.
Through this book, Mungal and Sorenson have taken us into the day-to-day experiences of successful school principals. By delving into the work of those on the front lines and unearthing the connective threads between educational leadership and school success, they have provided us with a practical guide to what great principals actually do. This book serves not only as an excellent guide for the novice school leader, but also as a powerful reminder for experienced educators of how we translate vision into action.
Drs. Mungal and Sorenson have distinguished themselves as outstanding professors of educational leadership. Their collaborative effort is informed by many years of experience and research.
