Betsy
On the principal side, we know that effective principals are:
Good instructional leaders, that is – they can facilitate teachers’ learning about how to improve instruction
Good HC managers – they know how to get and keep the best people in their schools
Have a strong vision and can build a strong culture of academic excellence
Align and manage their resources for student achievement – budget, people, processe
Potential questions to ask the group after reviewing this slide:
Do you feel like these are comprehensive, or do you feel like anything is missing?

Demanding and increasing workload and expectations
Limited autonomy over key decisions coupled with strong accountability
Isolation and lack of support
