As principals, we have a huge responsibility in operating a school. We all must believe that all students can learn and provide the necessary resources, professional development, and support to staff in achieving the vision of learning for all students. Within our belief, we must realize that we cannot achieve our vision without the input of our stakeholders in the decision-making process. Engaging in communication and collaboration with our stakeholders is a very important step in the process of achieving our goals. You made some excellent points regarding the change you wanted to see in your classroom with your students regarding student discipline. You had a vision as to how you would go about accomplishing your goals and connecting with your students. The ethical practices you utilized benefitted everyone. You empowered your students by engaging in positive conversations, demonstrating patience, listening, and promoting student engagement with learning. Our students must understand that this is very important. You demonstrated a great deal of flexibility and you were not rigid in your stance in your position which had a major impact on the outcome of achieving your goals. Listening to others and being fair and consistently fair, setting great examples of how you deal with students, and working with them can help you to maintain that balance that is so necessary for achieving the vision of learning for all students. Great leadership. As an aspiring principal, what would be your biggest take-a-way?
