Wanted: A Great Principal

Here’s a great article from The Center for Teaching Quality. The staff and students at Horizon High School wrote a letter to prospective principals applying to replace their beloved retired principal. Here’s their list of expectations of a great principal:

• a great principal will lead by example;
• a great principal will be as transparent as she can be;
• a great principal will collaborate;
• a great principal will not be afraid to show how she feels about her staff, students, and community; and
• a great principal will inspire.

Read their open letter on the CTQ website. What else would you add to the list?
