Abstract

My first encounter with the prospect of becoming a principal happened quite by chance in the spring of 1988, during a post-evaluation conference with my principal. After our formal discussion, we talked about the future. He commented to me that I should go to graduate school and enter the principalship. I immediately laughed his suggestion off, first by making light of principals in general, then letting him know that I could not imagine myself sitting in the principal's chair. He ended our conversation by mentioning why I would be right for the principalship and to give his suggestion serious consideration. His confidence in me really left an impression, but at the time the classroom was where I wanted to be.
