Episode 107 5 definitive facts of the principalship
Welcome to episode 107 of the Principal Entrepreneur where we support educational leaders with strategies and suggestions that answer the question. How do I become a great principal.
I also interview Principals and school and educational leaders just like me and you and discuss their areas of expertise and how they overcome the challenges within schools.
In today’s episode we’re discussing 5 Definitive Facts of the Principalship
The idea for this particular blog came to me as I was reflecting, going over old blogs, and reading Facebook posts. I noticed some themes that kept on repeating themselves. I’ll cover just a handful of them in this episode of the podcast. As principals, at some point, we will experience these five events. Sometimes we’ll experience them all in the same day!
Before we dive in, Special thanks to Sue Kster, Mitch Pascal, Michael Angelo and Catherine Bartlett for sharing their poignant and hilarious anecdotes. All of these contributers are from Stephanie McConnell’s Facebook group Principal Principles. If you haven’t joined that group yet. Please do. It’s awesome.
I hope you enjoy this combination of new thoughts, older reflections, and our colleagues stories.
You will F*<% up, staff will take you for granted, you’ll get cussed out, you wont get enough sleep and the students will be your joy!
What are other facts that new principals coming into the game should prepare for? Share your truths in the comment section below.
Total aside: I think this post might be the foundation of an upcoming book with a similar title, maybe jump up to 15 facts. . . (if you’re an author and you noticed that the formatting changes, that’s why.) If so, I hope you don’t mind me reaching out to you for your anecdotes!
That’s it for now. If you found this entertaining, educational or cause for reflection please follow me and share with your friends.
For more short articles and tips that support educational leaders check out my blog at the www.howtobeagreatprincpal.com and/or order my newest book How To Be A Great Principal: 36 Shared Leadership Success Strategies. You can also get a monthly email that delivers the most valuable blogs as voted by readers by joining the Principals’ Prep Minute. You can register right on the website.
If you’re an auditory learner you can download my podcast The Principal Entrepreneur, on itunes and podomatic, episodes replayed weekly. If you’re interested in sharing your experience as an edleader please email me at [email protected]. Finally, I’m part of a community of supportive principals please join our private FB group.
