Principals' perceptions of their roles in the implementation of essential school restructuring

This study was designed to investigate the role of the building principal in the implementation of fundamental school restructuring associated with the creation of essential schools. The principal's role in this process was examined strictly from the perspective of building principals who were directly involved in the process. To obtain this unique and little sought view, the researcher conducted in depth telephone survey interviews with a select group of school administrators designated as Thomson Fellows. Recognized by the Coalition of Essential Schools as exemplary essential school administrators, the Thomson Fellows provided insight into the leadership roles that principals assumed to function successfully in essential schools.
