Intended to serve as a handbook for the principal of the small school, this volume presents a collection of 38 articles about small schools that have appeared in the National Association of Secondary School Principals Bulletin during the past 7 years. An introduction explores the basic concept of size as it relates to schools. Five chapters group articles under the topics: "Leadership: Providing a Direction for Learning,""Management: Creating a Climate for Learning,""Instruction: Improving Classroom Learning,""Teachers: Supporting Better Learning," and "Students: Promoting Expectations for Learning." A concluding section highlights six significant categories of strength (administration, the teacher, the student, the community, guidance, and atmosphere), acknowledges that there will always be a need to discuss ways of improving the teaching/learning environment of small schools, and provides a stimulating list of practical suggestions.
