These studies, however, do not reveal what principals do on a daily basis. Without a clear understanding of what principals do each day, and the time devoted to each task, these undertakings would be without merit. To restructure the principalship without clearly defining the day-to-day practices of our elementary, middle, and high school principals would not result in …
