The school principal sets the tone for a school. A tone of intentional risk-taking and innovation or a tone of rigid compliance. It is the principal who can stifle creativity, imagination, and risk-taking or empower staff to find their greatness…right now

I’ve read how to open schools from “experts” and the CDC ...don’t think they’ve been in schools..but I have..I’ve been a principal for 20 years..got some experience over the years ...if schools are expected to social distance....it’s not possible ..Don’t politicize our kids!

Principals check on your staff individually, some are struggling, never underestimate the importance of checking in. Teachers, find time to check on each other, especially if you know someone is having a hard time. Effective schools are a family-families take care of each other.

It’s critical for the principal to set the example of what behaviors are acceptable in the school. This requires consistency and a high degree of congruence between what the leader says and does. Inconsistency results in confusion and staff often not believing words spoken.
