The author of Six Secrets of Change describes how and why the principal’s
role must change to maximize student achievement
Principals are often called the second most crucial in-school influencers (after
teachers) of student learning. But what should the principal do in order to
maximize student achievement? One of the best-known leadership authors in
education, Fullan explains why the answer lies neither in micro-managing
instruction nor in autonomous entrepreneurialism. He shows systematically how
the principal’s role should change, demonstrating how it can be done in short
order, at scale.

•• Filled with ‘action items’ to help implement Fullan’s program effectively
