Description:
Experience is the Best Teacher. Whether you are a student, teacher, or administrator, you should read this book. It's important. Lee Simon presents case studies most requested by her university students and best practices honed during her 30 plus years as a teacher, principal and professor.

In Principal Lessons, she shares the secret to achieving these outstanding results. "I use the acronym CPR as the guide in all I do," she says. "It stands for Compassion, Personalization and Reinvention. I did nothing especially hard.... Anyone can obtain these results." Here's how.
