A Network Connecting School Leaders From Around The Globe
The first two questions I asked myself as I prepared for my first Principal position were - 1. What is a successful school culture? and 2. What will it look like at our school? I spent a great deal of time and energy putting my thoughts to paper. The answers to questions #1 & #2 became the foundations of my personal educational core values. I believe a successful school has a culture of personalization, collaboration and excellence. I explain these in greater detail in my post Principal entry plan - the 1st 100 days. I was confident in my personal vision of culture, but now needed to answer the most critical question of all - how do we build it at our school? As a former coach I have always believed in establishing a family style atmosphere, emphasizing shared ownership and postive relationships. My philosophies are inline with those of highly respected educational leaders Roland Barth and Todd Whitaker.
