- Coaching for principals and assistant principals as they manage the day-to-day events of leading a school
The challenge of the principalship is that you have no "friends" in the school — everyone in the school reports to you! It is important for principals to connect with other principals and regularly share ideas, challenges, and successes. It's important, too, for principals to create a PLN — a professional learning network of others who can support them in their work. We recommend the Saturday morning Twitter chat, #leadupchat (9:30 am ET).
In their book, Students Taking Charge Implementation Guide for Leaders, authors Dr. Nancy Sulla (IDE Corp. President & CEO), Tanya Bosco (IDE Corp. Chief Strategy Officer), and Julie Marks (principal of Chester W. Taylor School in Pasco County, FL) identify ten mindsets leaders must adopt:
From Transactional to Transformational
From Engagement to Empowerment to Efficacy
From Ferry to Bridge
From Mandating Change to Inspiring Change
From Nodes to Lines: Systems Thinking in Action
From Surface Innovation to Deep Innovation
From Office-Based to Classroom-Based
From Dissemination to Conversations
From Silos to Teams
From Dutiful Administrator to Warrior and Advocate
