Review

"Highly recommended for all educators and school administrators searching for a well authored and highly detailed presentation of the difficult role and responsibilities of the assistant principal." (Wisconsin Bookwatch Education Shelf, June 2006 )

About the Author

Richard Hooley is the Superintendent of the Valley Central Schools in the Hudson Valley of New York.  Although his advancement was fairly traditional, he was interested in those who reached high administrative posts by nontraditional routes.  In his research of this topic, the assistant principal was identified as an often pivotal position.  Having worked as an administrator in the southeast, the northeast and the southwest, his fascination continues even as the assistant principal role changes over time and in the large and small districts he has worked in across the country. Now as a superintendent, seeking to encourage and develop educational leaders in his district, the topic remains germane and only more complicated by the declining numbers of educators going into administration and the increasing demands set by state and federal accountability measures.  Richard taught high school English after earning his bachelor’s degree from Wake Forest University.  He also earned a masters degree there in Gifted Education before attending Teachers College, Columbia University where he earned a second masters and a doctorate in Curriculum and Teaching.

Catherine Marshall is Professor in the Department of Educa­tional Leadership at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Once a teacher in Rhode Island, studies and career moves include doctoral studies at University of California, Santa Barbara, a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, Los Angeles,  and faculty positions at the University of Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt University before moving in 1991 to Chapel Hill. The ongoing goal of her teaching and re­search has been to use an interdisciplinary approach to ana­lyze cultures-of schools, state policy systems, and the professional development of adults working in organizations. She has published extensively about the politics of education, qualitative methodology, and women's access to careers as well as about the socialization, language, and values in educa­tional leadership. She is the author of Reframing Educational Politics for Social Justice, Leadership for Social Justice: Making Revolutions in Education, Culture and Education Policy in the American States and Designing Qualitative Research, and other books, as well as numerous articles on the administrative career, es­pecially the entrant, the assistant principal.

5.0 out of 5 stars An informative introduction to the assistant principle position in public schools, June 5, 2006
This review is from: The Assistant Principal: Leadership Choices and Challenges (Paperback)
The newly revised and updated second edition of The Assistant Principal: Leadership Choices And Challenges is co-authored by Catherine Marshall (Professor, Department of Educational Leadership, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) and Richard M. Hooley (Superintendent of the Valley Central Schools, Hudson Valley, New York) is an informative introduction to the assistant principle position in public schools. Guiding readers through the many intricacies of the assistant principle role in elementary, junior high, and senior high schools, The Assistant Principal covers policy concerns in the principal assistant position, the assistant principalship as a gateway to upper administrative mobility, the importance of support and motivation, and the dependancy of assistant principals upon school principles and their leadership styles. The Assistant Principal is very highly recommended for all educators and school administrators searching for a well authored and highly detailed presentation pertaining to the often difficult role and responsibilities of the assistant principal.
