Welcome back, Principal Matters listeners! This week on Monday Matters, Will Parker and Jen Schwanke are talking about trust pillars and trust killers, a concept covered in Jen’s new book. When it comes to school trust, there are a number of methods school leaders can employ to build organizational trust among teachers and staff members. Jen describes the pillars of trust that hold up the weight of human and emotional needs of a school, and then outlines the things that can kill trust in those pillars. She also discusses the relationship between the amount of trust that teachers have in their principals and student achievement. There is also evidence that trust between teachers and principals leads to better student outcomes. Trust is crucial, essential, and foundational to building successful schools. To hear more about the importance of trust building for principals, listen in to Jen and Will’s conversation. If you would like to learn even more about building the foundations of trust, buy Jen’s book, Trusted: Trust Pillars, Trust Killers, and the Secret to Successful Schools. Join us later this week to learn more about new teacher induction programs!
