Presentation transcript:

The New Principal’s lament I’m a new principal. Here I am at my new desk, which is loaded with guidelines, lists and policies. Everyone seems to know what I’m supposed to be doing ..... But me. Then I discover that, regardless of what action I take – or fail to take – I just can’t please everyone.

If I make quick decisions, I am an autocrat If I make quick decisions, I am an autocrat. If I make deliberate decisions, I’m indecisive If I call staff meetings, I have no regard for the teacher’s time. If I don’t call meetings, I do not believe in teacher participation.

If I correct teachers, I am picking on them If I correct teachers, I am picking on them. If I don’t correct teachers, I am a weak administrator. If I speak up for new programmes, I am on the reform bandwagon. If I’m cautious about changes, I am living in the past.

If I attend community affairs, I am a politician If I attend community affairs, I am a politician. If I stay away, I have poor public relations. If I suspend students, I do not understand children. If I don’t suspend enough students, I am a weak disciplinarian.

If I visit classrooms often, I am being intrusive If I visit classrooms often, I am being intrusive. If I don’t visit classrooms often, I don’t care about what’s going on. If I clear decisions with the IDSO/District, I don’t have a mind of my own. If I make my own decisions, I am assuming too much authority.

If I attend conferences for principals, I am goofing off If I attend conferences for principals, I am goofing off. If I don’t attend them , I am being professional. If I am walking around, I’m not getting my paper work done. If I stay at my desk, I am neglecting my staff and students.

If I complain about these things, I’m mal- content If I complain about these things, I’m mal- content. If I can live with them, I’m a ...... Principal!
