"Teachers are classroom leaders. Principals and Assistant Principals are school leaders. It comes down to leadership. If you think about the classroom, the classroom is very much like a small organization. The teacher is like the CEO and the students are employees. They have an outcome they are trying to produce which is student achievement." - Dr. Gavoni
