Assignment: Campus Improvement Plan- Internship in School Administration
SHADOWING A PRINCIPAL
PSEL Standard: School Improvement
Effective educational leaders act as agents of continuous improvement to promote each student's academic success and well-being.
Principal Leadership
According to Green (2013), the processes used by school leaders and the skills needed to implement these processes are continuously changing. Today's school leaders must address many challenges that are increasing in frequency, complexity, and intensity, demanding a new level of excellence from administrators and those in leadership roles.
School leaders must connect standards, theories and research which are significantly different from the traditional expectations of past leaders. Today's school principal is not only a manager, but also an instructional leader. The school leader must make student achievement and learning outcomes a top priority. School Improvement is on-going, and the Principal leads the charge!
To Do:
The internship experience and over the next few weeks, each candidate willanalyze the daily schedules (prior to the school closing) of the principal, examine the ethical decisions and practices that are part of the school leader's daily routines, and outline administrative duties related to curriculum and finance that will improve the school environment yielding increased academic results.

1. Prepare a comprehensive report outlining on-going school improvement for areas of CURRICULUM and FINANCE. Use the following sample format below or similar format: See Also a full SAMPLE in the Resources Section.
2. Submit a Campus Improvement Plan highlighting the areas of Curriculum and Finance showcasing the execution of the SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT experience.
3. Don't re-invent the will. Your campus should already have a Campus/School Improvement Plan that will serve as a starting point.
