The Need
“In an age of heightened accountability, it is crucially important to remember that creating and sustaining good
schools is about more than academic performance…Leaders of elementary schools need to understand
- The development of the whole child and the need to look at individualized instruction and portfolio assessment for every student.
- The changing global economy and society and how that affects the roles of school leaders.
- The need to rethink the learning day and the importance of bridging school and community.
- The increasing amounts of data available to school leaders and the need to translate abundant information into useful knowledge. “
From The NAESP (National Association of Elementary School Principals) publication Leading Learning Communities: Standards for What Principals Should Know and Be Able to Do.
