Abstract

Successful schools are led by a select educational team who steer and guide the teaching and learning process coping with the inner and outer environment of the school (Fullan, 2005; Harris, 2002). The principal represents the school leadership and he is considered the educational leader, as he performs highly important tasks. The role of the principal is not restricted solely to managing and supervising schools. The principal’s new role depends on improving the educational process.
