Searching for a Robust Understanding of the Principalship.

Beck, Lynn G.; Murphy, Joseph

Educational Administration Quarterly, v28 n3 p387-96 Aug 1992

Viewing a large number of works over a 70-year period of time and organizing these themes by decades allows the capture of multiple, implicit messages about expectations for the principalship over time.
