More Than A Notion

Tyrone D. Burton, Ed.D., esteems the Principalship as one of the most rewarding and challenging positions in the vast field of education. It is where the academic rubber meets the educational road of accountability. It is not for the faint of heart or those that lack the passion or desire to serve others through leading. However, in the context of other professions, it is one of the most difficult. As a little boy being raised by a single parent, his mom would often use the phrase 'more than a notion' when talking about what he would soon learn were the vicissitudes of life. Over time, Dr. Burton learned that the Principalship is truly more than a notion and leadership is not for the faint of heart. More Than A Notion addresses issues relevant to educational leaders in the age of accountability.
