The Principal, The Coach, and Me...the AP. Where do I fit in?

Stepping outside the classroom into a leadership role can feel lonely and at times, isolating.  It becomes even more of a challenge when a few members of the 'lead team' have a closer personal relationship and you get left out of conversations.  In this week's episode, Karen and Christy tackle a scenario shared by an assistant principal who is struggling to stay connected to the administrative goals of her team when the principal and the instructional coach inadvertently have conversations without her present.  

 

Using our patented 'scholar, system and soul' approach, we take on this situation from two different angles--what are some habits of practice the head principal can do to foster a collegial relationship with the entire team and, as the assistant principal, what are some key moves she can make now to create criteria for effective teamwork?  Join us for this frank discussion about the tricky balance of friendship in your working relationships.
