Principal Mentoring: Partnerships for Better Schools
Principals who have the benefit of working alongside JBHM Education Group instructional leadership specialists get much more than a professional development workshop or manual. They get partners who walk in their shoes, mentoring each step required in changing a culture of “we can’t” to “we can, and we will.” Principals begin to expect more of themselves, teachers, and students and become catalysts in creating a community of continuous learners. Learning to lead teachers toward best practices helps principals provide concrete support for instruction, strengthening cooperation and collegiality among the school staff. When teachers see the positive results of collaboration, they have renewed respect for their principals and a revitalized commitment to improving student achievement.
