Effective Administration in Desegregated Schools.
Bash, James H.; Long Roger L.
At the local level the school principal is the key person in the implementation of the decision by the school board to desegregate the schools. Information on the practices and procedures followed by successful principals was obtained through interviews and questionnaire. Topics discussed include (1) the general personal characteristics required of the effective principal, (2) his role in orienting the pupils and staff to the prospect of school desegregation, (3) his role in organizing instruction, (4) the problem of student discipline, (5) his relationship with the teaching staff, (6) the handling of extracurricular activities, (7) his role in promoting intergroup understanding, (8) school-community relationships, and (9) the major decisions faced by principals. An annotated bibliography lists 30 items. (HW)
