Principals are in short supply in Ontario, in Canada, and across North America. This book will help teachers, educational administrators understand why schools have been “twinned” (one principal leading two or even three schools) in Ontario and elsewhere, as well as the benefits and challenges associated with twinning. In order to prepare aspirant principals appropriately for their positions, they should be privy to an integral part of their work – the complexities of being a twinning principal.
