School Principals carry responsibility for the adults and children in their schools. Their ability to support strategies that make a positive difference are crucial.
MS Principal: This program has taught me that I don’t know as much as I thought I knew. Ha! You know you’ve been I’ve been around for 31 years and it would seem that you’ve seen everything and heard everything but there are some things that I don’t know, even all that experience.
MS Principal 2: I got the same training as the staff did and it helped me to understand my staff better, and the staff saw me a little differently then too.
Elementary Principal: I see the difference and then when you get a critical mass of teachers in a building that are working pretty much in the same area. If they’re working on some of the same strategies; now we’ve got something that will really make an impact. The organization of the classroom for example: what kind of rules will we have? Kids will have something to say about that, and I think teachers will laugh all the way to the bank, because that’s really beneficial to them in a meaningful way.
