MENTORING & COACHING FOR PRINCIPALS
Connects theory and practice in a powerful and effective way
Why Mentoring matters?
The principalship is more demanding than ever. Principals are
creating the culture, systems and instructional conditions necessary
for all children to achieve at high levels. Principals are faced with an
increasing number of challenges as they strive to improve teaching
and learning in their schools. One-on-One mentoring and coaching
is an effective tool to support the growth of the principal and increase
effectiveness and longevity in the profession. Principals find the long-term
relationship with a mentor supportive and helpful in the isolated role.
Mentoring includes both onsite and virtual visits each month and is tailored to the needs of the principal.
