This book draws on the author′s twenty year career as a principal to advise on how to be an effective and authentic school leader.
New person in an old role : multiple images of a principal. First impressions. Larger than life. Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Finding my way. A little respect -- Working through conflict : power and communication. What are our choices? Lonely at the top. Stuck in righteousness. For the sake of the students. Women as principals. Truth or dare. Knowing when -- Being a leader and being myself : feelings, attitudes, and roles. Symbols communicate more than style. "She smiles too much." Feeling my way. Group member, group leader. Invited out of the lunch box. Share the problem and invest in the solution -- What we have to offer : fitting a school together. Building the school with people. Matching the teachers and the students-- and their parents. Protecting relationships. Revealing the obvious -- Promoting acceptance in the school community : each person's right to belong. First friends. "Just because." Realizing our resources. On common ground. To stand up, to stand behind. Essence. Modeling what's important. Recognizing and owning our part -- Mentors, allies, and friends : support for authentic leadership and vision. In support of leaders. At the core of leadership. Doing something more. Not a fairy godmother. Time well spent. The courage to pursue growth. What we give to each other. Passing the torch and sharing its light. Leading with my voice.

Susan Villani has been training teachers and administrators to become more effective instructors and leaders for over 30 years.
A member of WestEd′s Learning Innovations, Villani specializes in consulting and professional development in the area of mentoring and induction programs for new teachers and principals, and collaborative coaching training for math and literacy coaches, as well as mentors. Villani has worked with thousands of new and experienced teachers and administrators who have reported improvement in their practice and heightened job satisfaction, resulting in improved academic performance of tens of thousands of students.
Villani chaired the Teacher Quality Initiative of the New York Comprehensive Center. Also, as coordinator for Project ACROSS (Alternative Certification Route with On-going Support Systems), Villani has worked with over 100 New Hampshire teachers seeking alternative certification and with their mentors. She also worked with district educators through two technology support teacher centers that enhance teacher effectiveness for New Hampshire teachers. Villani consulted with and provided professional development for Maine educators to design and implement a statewide new-teacher mentoring program linked to the new Maine Teaching Standards. In collaboration with the New York State Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development, she helped districts and other service providers meet the new state law requiring mentoring programs for new teachers. Such work helps increase teacher retention and quality.
Villani also works with school principals and district administrators throughout the East Coast to help them enrich their practice and heighten their effectiveness with faculty and staff. Embedded in all of Villani's work is a commitment to help all educators be culturally proficient, thereby being sensitive to and addressing the needs of all students and their families, as well as school and consulting staff.
Villani is the author of Are You Sure You′re the Principal? Guiding New and Aspiring Leaders, and Mentoring and Induction Programs That Support New Principals. In 2007, Villani coauthored, with Kathy Dunne, Mentoring New Teachers Through Collaborative Coaching: Linking Teacher and Student Learning and the accompanying facilitation and training guide. Villani frequently presents at national and regional conferences.
Prior to joining WestEd in 2000, Villani was a school principal for 21 years and served as an adjunct faculty member at Lesley University for more than 10 years. She received a BA in business administration from Harpur College of Arts and Sciences, S.U.N.Y. at Binghamton, an MEd in elementary education from Tufts University, and an EdD in educational administration from Northeastern University.
