The outcome expected is that there will be a discrepancy between the ideal methods research shows are effective for principal administration and the actual methods working principals use."

Abstract
This paper presents an interview with an elementary school principal in which the principal describes a situation regarding a problematic teacher on his staff. The paper shows how the principal addressed and solved the problem.
From the Paper
"The current situation facing this principal was regarding a first grade teacher who was simply not performing well and in the mind of the principal was negligent. From the very beginning, two years ago when she was hired, problems began. Parents started complaining about assignments not being graded or returned. The teacher would leave class unattended without supervision or notifying other staff members, and fellow teachers complained about the course curriculum not being adhered to. In supervising and evaluating this teacher it was obvious to the principal that she lacked the skills of a quality educator."

Abstract
This paper contends that in the past decade, the role of the school principal has become dramatically more complex, overloaded and unclear. The paper explains that the role of the principal has progressed from an instructional leader, to a transactional leader and most recently, to the role of transformational leader. The paper examines numerous studies on the topic that have revealed the importance of the instructional leadership responsibilities of the principal. The paper assesses that improved education for all students requires improved instructional leadership, which begins at the principal level and filters down to the teachers.

Study by Youngs and King
Study by Marks and Printy
Study by Joseph and Jo Blase
Study by Witziers, Bosker and Kruger
Conclusion
From the Paper
"There seems to be a gap between the actual role of the school principal and what the role it needs to be. Mention is made of the lack of education, training, and time for the instructional leadership role and of leadership activities being set aside for more immediate problems. The increasing volume of paper work is also included. Additionally, public expectations for the principal's role are mainly managerial and, to a principal, this is a safe and comfortable role. However, as instructional leader, the principal is the pivotal point within the school who affects the quality of individual teacher instruction, the height of student achievement, and the degree of efficiency in school functioning."

Abstract
This research examines sociological attributes of a newspaper article describing the challenges facing a newly appointed principal of Pacoima Elementary School, known as one of the oldest, poorest and worst-performing schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The research discusses how the situation described in the article relates to the sociological concepts and theories discussed in Chapter 3 of Kornblum's "Sociology in a Changing World".
From the Paper
"Pacoima Elementary, located in the Los Angeles suburb of the same name, has a predominantly Spanish-speaking student population, and the majority of the students neither read nor speak English fluently. This core fact is at the heart of a situation that is distinguished by the encounter between cultures, in the context of a changing cultural structure in Southern California. Cultural lines have been crossed in Los Angeles in recent years, as thousands of Spanish-speaking immigrants have moved to Southern California, an example of global transactions (Kornblum 72), as well as of the enlargement of a Latino subculture (Kornblum 81). However, as Sauerwein's article implies, these transactions in general and the subculture in particular may be more or less successful in the US, according as the immigrants and their children are able to cope with the hegemony (Kornblum 76) of American English-speaking culture."

From the Paper
"The presence of a strong principal is a prerequisite for the success of any educational institution. A principal must have a clear vision of the future direction of his or her school and the leadership ability to bring the dream to fruition. Because schools reflect the increasing complexity of society as a whole, modern principals find themselves faced with unprecedented challenges in maintaining quality educational environments.
Webster (1994) conducted a three-year study of high school principals, which examined the various roles they play in today's high schools. The study involved visits and interviews in more than 150 high schools in 23 states and 7 countries. The study encompassed each geographic area of the United States (New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Southwest, Midwest, Rocky Mountains, Far West, and Alaska) as well as schools in Indonesia..."

"Role of the Public School Principal as Human Relations Agent:
Contribution of the Role to Principal Leadership Effectiveness
Introduction
Greenfield (1991) has noted that the public school principal must play many roles: (1) managerial; (2) instructional;
(3) political; (4) social; and (5) moral. Several authors (e.g. Amey, 1991; Hutchinson, 1988) have characterized the principal's social role as that of being a human relation's agent.
However, the question can be asked: Can the public school principal effectively fulfill any of the just cited administrative roles without good human relations skills? This paper examines the principal's social or human relations role toward the objective of determining the extent to which the role of human relations agent is a defining characteristic of..."

" LEGAL LIABILITIES OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS
This research paper deals with the legal liabilities of school administrators, primarily school board superintendents, principals and assistant principals to third parties. The emphasis is on the public schools through grade K-12. Traditionally, school board administrators were largely insulated under state law from liability. Since the 1970s, the liability exposure of school districts, school administrators and teachers has exponentially expanded. Largely due to the effects of various forms of federal intervention in the public schools and the creation and enforcement of private federal causes of action against them, the task of school administration has become highly legally intensive and the relationship between public school officials and students and parents has become much more.."

Abstract
This is a quantitative research study that is designed to assess the impact of school culture on school safety and school violence. The paper looks at what schools can do to create proper environments that are conducive to safety and whether there are identifiable behaviors within school culture that contribute to safety. The paper also analyzes the perceptions of teachers and administrators about school culture and order.
From the Paper
"Another important point that is stressed when looking at school culture and safety is the fact that strong leaders generally make an effort to express sincere feelings toward students and their lives, and have a real belief that the students have the potential to become successful and productive adults (Kenworthy & O'Driscoll, 2000). Effective leaders create effective schools that are resilient to violence and other risks and promote resiliency in students."

Public Schools vs. Private Schools, 2005.
A look at the accusation that public schools do not produce graduates capable of living and working successfully in their own culture.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper attempts to demonstrate that private schools succeed at preparing graduates to succeed after graduation, whereas public schools do not. The paper puts forth the hypothesis that private schools teach their students to succeed, not because of a great deal of money poured into education, but because the schools are free to teach the curricula they choose and because they prepare students to return to their own cultures and succeed. The paper further hypothesizes that public schools, on the other hand, are not free to teach curricula not aimed at improving standardized test scores, and the successful public school student is not prepared to return to his or her culture in a trade, but to transition out of it into an anachronistic academic culture.

From the Paper
"There are two, or possibly even three, co-existent educational systems in the United States. The largest of these is the public education system, followed by the private schools and increasingly popular home-schooling. The third system will be mentioned only tangentially, as the real problems with U.S. education are considered to reside in the public schools. In recent decades, there have been various schemes put forth regarding vouchers for families who want to send their children to private schools but cannot afford the fees; none of these has borne fruit. In any case, it is doubtful that the private schools could absorb the numbers of students who would want to attend if vouchers were a reality. The problem with the public schools has been identified by most of the public and by many researchers as one of curriculum."

Home School vs. Public School, 2004.
An opinion paper that states reasons why home-schooling is a better option for one's children.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents arguments on both sides for and against home-schooling. It explains the benefits of parents being the main educators for their children, but also cites reasons, such as social development of the children, being affected. The paper concludes, however, that home-schooling could be the best option for specific people and that the system produces well-balanced children. Includes a thorough annotated bibliography and many sources attached at the end of the paper.
From the Paper
"Each year more and more home schoolers are rising to the top of their fields and are being regarded as choice recruits for major colleges and universities across the country. Studies have proven that overall home educated children are more mature, well-balanced, and more confident than children educated in the public school system. What appears to be crucial to their success is the one-on-one relationship with the parent-teacher and the opportunity to learn as they are ready."

The paper further discusses how that in Canada, most education is provided by the government and many people would argue that this is the way it should be, as it is only government that has the resources and expertise to take on this important role

Rich School, Poor School, 2002.
A look at the ?Robin Hood? revenue-sharing law used to fund education in Texas.

Abstract
This paper examines the history of school funding in the state of Texas and the attempts to fund equitable educational opportunities for all Texas children. In particular, it discusses the the ?Robin Hood? revenue-sharing law, which was signed into effect in 1993 and literally siphons funds from wealthy school districts and diverts them to poorer schools. It analyzes how the plan has been anathema to many, since it was signed into law by Ann Richards, the state's last Democratic governor, and evaluates its advantages and disadvantages.
From the Paper
"The Texas Supreme Court agreed with the plaintiffs and stated that an efficient system must provide "substantially equal access to similar revenues per pupil at similar levels of tax effort." (Hughes, 2002) Basically, this means that a poor district should be able to operate on the same revenue per pupil from a one-cent tax increase as any other district would from the same one-cent increase. So the Robin Hood plan was implemented in 1993 as a temporary measure to provide funds until a more permanent solution could be devised. The plan was never intended to be permanent, none the less, poorer schools have become accustom to the higher funding levels, and they are hesitant to consider a new plan which would mean a possible decline in income."

Abstract
This paper examines tort liability in six different cases involving XYZ Limited. Among other things, the paper explores the appropriateness of the initial XYZ response to various issues and it also explores the legal underpinnings upon which will be based future actions. Ultimately, it may be said that the paper explores the complexity of tort law as it exists in the United Kingdom.
From the Paper
"Tort liability in English law is an extremely complicated matter. Because of this, the following paper will examine six cases involving tort law and attempt to determine the statues and or legal authorities that might guide a business decision in various situations where tort liability has been alleged. As will become apparent, organizations owe it to themselves to prepare as much as possible for possible suits as they are an inescapable part of doing business. In the first three cases to which we turn, both sides of the matter must be explored. From Bill's perspective, he was misled as to the vacation cottage he would occupy and he feels strongly that he should be recompensed for his inconvenience; in light of the inaccurate - possibly fraudulent - misrepresentation given to him by the now-insolvent travel company, his anger is perfectly understandable."
