Keeping Your Mind on the Big Stuff
It sometimes seems as though the job of a principal has become nearly impossible. Just as a principal sets off to observe a teacher, the ancient plumbing finally gives way and the bathroom ceiling collapses. How can school leaders keep from doing what one DTM award-winning principal calls “majoring in the minors”? In this session, the principal of 2007 DTM winner P.S./M.S. 124 Osmond A. Church School in Queens, New York, will discuss ways she keeps the school and herself focused on student achievement even as she runs an overcrowded big-city school.
