3.0 out of 5 stars It was like "edit" and "replace", July 8, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: What Great Principals Do Differently: 15 Things That Matter Most (Paperback)
I read his other book What Great Teachers Do differently and enjoyed it. It is a quick read and inspires conversation. As a result, I quickly purchased his other book. Unfortunately, most of the chapters were the same but where it read "teacher" in one book it read "principal" in this one. So obviously I was disappointed that I paid for the same book twice. Pick one book for sure. It is worth it. But not both.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy it!, May 4, 2008
This review is from: What Great Principals Do Differently: 15 Things That Matter Most (Paperback)
If you have read "What Good Teachers Do Differently' or visa versa don't buy it. It is almost verbatim and a WASTE of money and time.

5.0 out of 5 stars What Great Principals Do Differently, February 6, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: What Great Principals Do Differently: 15 Things That Matter Most (Paperback)
I liked this book so much I conducted research based off of it. I asked teachers..."Based on your teaching experience, what makes an effective or great principal?" Every answer I was given was covered in this book. This is a must have for principals.
