The Principal as Staff Developer shows principals how to improve their schools through improving the effectiveness of their staff. Former high school principal Richard DuFour outlines the building administrator s major role in every phase of staff development, from getting staff motivated for new programs to evaluating the results. This resource allows principals to discover how to design staff development programs that have long-term effects, resolve teacher concerns that can be barriers to new staff development programs, share authority with staff in a way that will increase student learning, and match supervisory strategies to levels of teacher development. They will also learn how to use alternative approaches to staff development and create the type of climate in which autonomy, collaboration, and experimentation can flourish.
