Riassunto

Nurture the development of future school leaders through effective principal–assistant principal partnerships!

Principals and assistant principals can use their collaborative relationship to build a strong leadership team for today while preparing assistants for tomorrow's leadership roles. Viewing the partnership between principals and assistant principals as a coaching-based relationship, the authors provide discussion questions, activities for the assistant principal, and shared activities to help principals and assistant principals:

• Develop a shared vision for their relationship and their school
• Design a plan for communication and professional development
• Build assistants' skills in school management, instructional leadership, and personnel management
