Description

INTRODUCTION The principal, who is the instructional leader of a school, is central to the effectiveness of students' academic outcomes (Barth, 2001; Lunenburg & Ornstein, 2004). Moreover, the campus leader directs the infusion of a moral order in the school community, embracing values and beliefs that drive the purpose and meaning of the organization (Sergiovanni, 2000). Administratively, the principal is expected to multitask, handling unexpected diverse situations that require either quick reaction or long term planning. For example, what is the school leader's response to a group of disgruntled parents who suddenly appear at school end, accompanied by a local news station reporter and cameraman, as elementary students are being directed to their assigned school buses, while other parents are waiting to pick up their children? The principal's timely decision making process encompasses student safety, community responsiveness, school district policy, and professional etiquette. Having an understanding how a school leader will respond in ambiguous or uncertain situations, especially in times of adversity, is critical since the leader's actions can greatly impact the lives of hundreds or possibly thousands of students, including campus staff.
