The case examines the work intensification of Mrs. Hayes, whose school has been affected by reductions in student enrolment, staffing, and administrative time. Overwhelmed by myriad responsibilities, the principal feels inadequate as both a teacher and a leader. She is exhausted in her efforts to provide quality learning and extra-curricular opportunities for students, as her workload continues to grow. Teaching activities examine the uniqueness of the rural teaching principal role and possible solutions that may support leaders as they manage work intensification in order to accomplish the responsibilities of this dual role.  \nKeywords: rural principal, teaching principal, rural education, work intensification  \nCase Narrative  \nMrs. Hayes has a long history in the Lilium community; she loves the community and the school she serves as teaching principal. She grew up in the small village of Lilium and attended the school from kindergarten through grade 12. Aside from the four years she attended university, she has lived in the community her whole life, and Lilium remains home to many of her family members and closest friends. She began her teaching career in a nearby community and applied to work at the school as soon as a teaching position was posted. She has been a teacher at Lilium School for 14 years and became the teaching principal five years ago. Although she always dreamed of becoming the principal of Lilium School, overtime, that dream has transformed into a guilt-ridden nightmare due to the increased work intensification that has made it impossible to manage her teaching and administrative duties.  \nMrs. Hayes resides in Lilium, a village with 245 residents surrounded by farm and ranch land ina Canadian prairie province. The village is a two-hour commute from the nearest major center. Liliumis home to a few small businesses, but the village’s largest building (and major place of employment) is the school. Since Mrs. Hayes’ childhood, the village and surrounding area have depopulated significantly. Residents have long been fearful of school closure; however, the community’s remote location has, thus far, protected the school from closing down. Lilium School has a population of 50 students between kindergarten and grade 12. Classes are all double-or triple-graded, and teachers have become adept at multi-grade/multi-age programming. In order to acquire a full high school program, students take some courses on-line and travel by bus to the nearest school (35 minutes away) a few afternoons each week to engage in shared programming. Despite the small population, the school continues to offer a wide variety of extra-curricular programs, some of which are combined with the nearest school, to ensure that community expectations around high school athletics can be maintained. The constant communication required between schools, to ensure that curricular and extra-curricular programs run smoothly, is a source of stress for Mrs. Hayes.  \nMrs. Hayes is also a teacher, and she sees great benefit in her dual role of teaching principal.  \nBeing an active teacher has afforded her a high level of credibility with her staff. Teachers know that she is in touch with the realities that they face daily in the classroom and that she can appreciate the added pressures stemming from new initiatives. She also teaches every student in the school, which allows her to develop a personal connection with every child and family. However, this dual role also adds great complexity to her daily life at school.  \nWhen she began as the principal five years ago, her time was split evenly between teaching and administrative duties.
