Dr. Janet Applin, professor in the School of Leadership and Professional Studies, penned a chapter of a new book aimed at principal preparation.
School Improvement: Let The Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (PSEL) Work for You was written by Educational Leadership faculty from across the state of Kentucky through our state's University Principal Partnership Initiative (UPPI).

The book can be purchased Rowman & Littlefield.
