A Principal's Reflections

DECEMBER 8, 2013

It is a shame that the growth of leaders, and all educators for that matter, is a trivial concern to districts and so called reformers, unless it is solely related to the Common Core, PARCC, SGO’s (in NJ at least), or a teacher/principal evaluation tool. Now more than ever leaders need to take control of their learning.

It is an opportunity to become better at what we do as well as gain knowledge on new pedagogical techniques, learning theories, leadership strategies, technologies, and federal/state mandates. Educators now have to attend mandate-driven workshops on the Common Core, teacher/principal evaluation, and student growth objectives.

If you know the Common Core Standards you know that “The need to conduct research and to produce and consume media is embedded into every aspect of today’s curriculum.
