I know that some districts have this incredibly long survey that is relatively pointless, but every now and again a short simple report card can illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of the current leader. The question is what happens next? Wouldn't it be great if the principal met with the "lead" teachers to discuss how he could improve on his weak areas?Scott Hollowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15431432807538051541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-431143239299952994.post-20657341466089031022010-03-09T18:20:04.044-08:002010-03-09T18:20:04.044-08:00Yes Jane.
