I know I wouldn't have passed without them! Thank you!" --Glynis Durham, 4th Grade Teacher "I purchased Dr. Wilmore's second edition of Passing the Principal Texes Exam.

For the serious educator, it doesn't get any more helpful than this."--Tom Parks, Associate Dean and Professor "I have used Dr. Wilmore's book with over 200 graduate students who were completing their degree in Educational Administration in Texas. The students found the book to give practical information and specific examples of the competencies of educational leaders. This knowledge assisted the students to learn through real-life situations information they needed to know in order to pass the certification examination. All of these students were successful in meeting the requirements to be an administrator for all levels in the schools in Texas.

I am now (almost) two weeks into my first admin position and this is the first time I have had to email you. Just wanted you to know I'm appreciative of you! Thanks." --J.
