The Principle of Coherence: The Coherent Principal
http://www.ucalgary.ca/~iejll/volume5/schuttloffel.html

Abstract
The practices of school leaders who apply the principle of
coherence to their decision making were studied. The
principle of coherence translates reflective practice into a
framework for analyzing a school leader’s decision making. A
case study of a Catholic school principal provides an
explicit example of the principle of coherence. An analysis
of the case study provides insight into contemplative
practice (Schuttloffel, 1999b). Next a public school
principal personifies school leaders who adhere to beliefs
central to democratic citizenship. The principle of coherence
portrays how school leaders purposefully transmit a moral
code to members of their school community.
