Tough Calls: Sustaining Change in Hard Times

Printer-friendly version

Guarding big gains in student achievement takes values and attitudes—along with knowledge and action—that a principal must convey relentlessly to staff and students. Budgets are just one part of what principals must confront, but they can test a school leader’s mettle.

Hear the former principal of Graham Road Elementary School, a 2008 winner of the Dispelling the Myth Award, reveal what principals should know and do to sustain improvement in tough times.
Presenter: Molly Bensinger-Lacy, former principal, Graham Road Elementary School, Falls Church, Va.
