Focusing on real-world challenges in educational leadership, this book features video footage of fifteen aspiring principals tackling unpredictable dilemmas faced by actual school leaders. Each principal must navigate situations involving upset teachers, students, and parents while demonstrating their understanding of legal issues and school leadership standards. The scenarios range from concerns about reading materials to serious allegations of child abuse, immersing readers in the high-stakes environment of modern school administration.

This extended, real-world case study provides readers an authentic, unvarnished account of a fully-human principal knee deep in what is appropriately called the toughest job in education.
