Overview
As a school principal, one of your most important tasks is identifying the informal and formal leaders in your building. Implementing distributed leadership strategies allow you to work with faculty to create a high-functioning team that has a shared vision for how each person can promote growth and create an educational environment that supports the success and well-being of each student and adult. By identifying leadership roles and using effective systems to supervise, support, and evaluate success, principals can delegate tasks effectively and promote school improvement.
