This unique book marks the ninth book that Bruce R. Foster has written and the second book he has penned for adult educators. Much of his fifty-year career has been spent in leadership roles. Since his retirement as an elementary school principal in 2013, he has served as an interim principal in over fifty schools in the Ottawa area. All the vignettes in A Principal’s Perspective-Lessons Learned occurred in the schools that he has worked in. Regardless of your role in the school (principal, vice principal, teacher, or support staff), you will be delighted to read the bank of fifty selected short stories, many of which will leave you giggling or may bring a tear to your eye. 

Bruce and his wife, Sandra, are proud grandparents of five very active and healthy grandchildren, whose activities they enjoy following on the hockey rinks, basketball courts, or karate studios during the frigid winter months. The entire family enjoys time spent every summer at the cottage located on Nobles Bay on the Rideau Lakes. 

ILLUSTRATOR’S BIO:

Since 2018, Bruce R. Foster and Joshua J. Stewart have collaborated to produce six popular books. Many Ottawa residents have likened Josh’s evocative illustrations to Michael Martchenko, one of Robert Munsch’s renowned illustrators. As you leaf through the enclosed fifty vibrantly illustrated vignettes, you will be in awe of the distinct realism Joshua brings to each and every picture.
