The Oral History of the Principalship

The Oral History of the Principalship

Creator Patrick W. Carlton
Description The Oral History of the Public School Principalship is an ongoing project designed to interview retired elementary, middle, and high school principals for their views, reminiscences, and accumulated wisdom.

Carlton, formerly an associate professor at VPI&SU but currently at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
