In Remembering What’s Important: Priorities of School Leadership, Charles A. Bonnici addresses several issues facing school leaders through strategies supported by real-life examples and anecdotes.

The issues addressed include questions such as:

What is the most urgent issue faced by a new school leader?

How can this leader address the chaos of being both a teacher trainer and evaluator?

What are the school leader's personal responsibilities for hiring, training, and retaining staff?

How does the school leader create a positive learning ambience in a school?

How can this leader address the issues created by the physical plant of the building itself?

How can a principal treat the difficult waters of the social and political context of the outside world that impacts on the school?

How can a school leader ensure that the management systems created within a school and the gains in student achievement accomplished are maintained and improved upon after he or she leaves the school?
