I distribute leadership at my school consistently. I work collaboratively with my assistants covering extra-curricular activities, classroom observations, etc. The bottom line is that I am ultimately responsible. I have a lot of trust in my assistants and value their input.

I like the idea of using mentors for training purposes. I feel that most of what I know about running a school has come from following footsteps of successful principal. Just because one is certified doesn't necessarily mean that one is qualified.

I read Pounder and Merrill's Lost Luster. I read with interest about rebundling the principal's job and developing strong pools of admins. I particularly find it amazing that districts are offering full-paid sabbaticals for those pursuing an administrative certificate. What a powerful message that sends to people about how these districts value good leaders. Kudos to them. I can attest to the fact that many assistant principals are not given job responsibilities that adequately prepare them for the role as head principal. They are often given a specific, specialized set of tasks and - if they are good at them - continue performing these tasks until they leave the position or downsizing that forces additional responsibilities occurs.
