Case: Unavailable Principal My school has a new principal; she is only new to the building, not to the position of being an administrator. We also have a brand new vice-principal who has never been in an administrative role. Our principal is never at the school. She is constantly at meetings at the school board office, visiting other schools in the county, or at trainings. In addition, this principal is never at any of the after school events: dances, sporting events, plays, or curricular events. The teachers at the school are having a hard time with this because we are used to a very involved, visible administrator that only left because she was promoted to a Director position. Is it because we are used to an administrator that was always doing things above and beyond or should our current principal be more involved and visible in our school? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The principal is an overseer. The principal keeps watch over and directs work of others. I have been fortunate enough to experience that type of principal. The answer to your questions is YES. The principal should be involved and visible in the school. The principal should be present to make sure everyone in the school is secure by walking the premises and being seen by others. The principal is not suppose to do your job for you but he/she expects you to do your job. The meetings at the school and training is scheduled. Spending time at the school should be scheduled as well. |
