Abstract:
School principals play a significant role in the effective running of schools. They
are confronted by countless demands, expectations and challenges while trying to
maintain balance in their decision-making about contradictory, yet complementary,
considerations, such as the emphases to place on pedagogy/education,
democracy/authority and pastoral care/academic teaching. The main purpose of this
study was to examine these dualisms on the part of Irish second-level principals.
Specifically, the research looks at their background influences and the impact of these
on their current practices especially in the ways they communicate and interact, both
with people in their schools and external agencies linked to the schools.
