Pubs & Posts

This page features downloadable copies of all of PEP’s free publications (e.g., recent newsletters, the current annual report, etc.).  That’s the “Pubs” part.

The “Posts” part is a new addition to our website.  Here you will find essays, digests of recent research, articles written by PEP staff members or PEP graduates, advertisements from other organizations, etc. – in other words, documents that contain information we believe will be of interest to school leaders across the state.  


Publications

The following PEP documents are published in Adobe Acrobat pdf format and may be viewed online and downloaded free of charge.

Education Law in North Carolina is a subscription-based, annually updated, twenty-seven chapter, "plain English" source of information about the federal and state law that affects North Carolina schools and administrators. ELNC is available on a password-protected website. Users can find information, often within seconds, via electronic search and linking tools. ELNC also contains links to North Carolina case law, statutes, regulations and other valuable legal resources. Almost every North Carolina school system subscribes to this resource, which has been published by PEP since 1987. Cost: $75.00 per year.

The Provident Principal This classic treatise is based on a series of lectures by John R. (Jack) McCall, a clinical psychologist, educator, and PEP program associate. Its title comes form the author's philosophy that every school needs a provident principal--that is, a principal who plans and thinks ahead to help every student or teacher in his or her school succeed and excel. Cost: $10.00

Seminar Teaching: Five Case Studies This collection of cases was written by Alice H. Hart, PEP instructor and former North Carolina Principal of the Year. The cases report on the successful use of Paideia concept and seminar teaching in public schools. Cost: $15.00

Leadership (Available in PDF format here) PEP's quarterly newsletter, Leadership, keeps the members of the extended PEP family informed of current events, upcoming programs and activities, and issues of general concern to school administrators. The newsletter highlights special projects, initiatives, and new developments in school law and education policy and features reviews of books of current interest and application. Cost: Available free in PDF format.
