Leadership Experience
As a school leader, I strive to communicate regularly and collaborate with other leaders and educators to encourage input and engagement. My goal is to maintain a positive environment for both staff and students.
Communication Skills
Collaborating closely with leadership, including but not limited to the principal, other program leaders, classroom teachers, families, community members, and students, is an essential job as an educator and especially as a school leader. It is pivotal to ensure we regularly communicate not only expectations, events, and progress, but also the future.
