So I cannot pretend to write this post as a letter to a future me, instead, I hope it will serve as a small homage to the amazing principals I know and as a guide to those just starting out. Dear principal, I offer you a wish list of do’s, some hopes and dreams, some things I have seen amazing principals do, from this single teacher to you.
Do be accountable. Do be confidential. Do trust us. Do share you stories but keep them short. Do listen well. Do advocate. Do lead by example, but be wary of titles. Do draw your own conclusions. Do be connected. Do be visible. Be honest.
