If a Principal Wants to Lose Their Teachers Quickly, They Should Brag About Themselves. If They Want to Build Relationships with Their Teachers, They Should Brag About Them.

The very best teachers have a consistent focus on their students. They make decisions based on what is best for the students and for the class. They never lose sight of that. Even if state standards, testing, and other mandates seem to take us down a different path, the best teachers quickly refocus on what is best for the students. They make everything they do about supporting, encouraging, and helping the young people in their class maximize their potential. They do not just do it for some of the students – they do it for all of the students.
