Reviews for The Charter School Principal: Nuanced Descriptions of Leadership

Bickmore and Gawlik's book is an important and timely addition to the field of charter school research. Full of interesting and in-depth studies, it is useful to researchers and practitioners alike who seek to understand the experiences of charter school leaders. -- Catherine DiMartino, Associate Professor, Department of Administration and Instructional Leadership, St. John's University School of Education Through in-depth case studies that each illuminate the unique challenges and opportunities for leaders in charter schools, this volume is the first to present not only a comprehensive assessment of what we know and don't know about the charter school principal, but also, importantly, specific guidelines for practitioners. And after 25 years of charter school policies, these new insights are sorely needed. -- Huriya Jabbar, Assistant Professor, Educational Policy and Planning, Dept. of Educational Administration, The University of Texas at Austin
