Dealing with theory and research before presenting examples of applying principles in practice, Weller (educational leadership, U. of Georgia) attempts to combine the quality management theory of W. Edwards Deming and his own research on middle school principles. Addressing essential skills for principals and components of quality- producing middle schools, he discusses team building and planning, interdisciplinary curriculum, intramural athletics, remedial education, community and home involvement, and scheduling.
