The Principal's Academy

The Principal's Academy is a FREE newsletter you can join that will give you the opportunity to ask any question you might have about school leadership or talk about whatever school obstacle you might be facing.

When you sign up for the Principal's Academy newsletter, there are two editions per week. The first edition allows you to ask your questions. This edition comes out every single week and this is a great opportunity to let the community know what issues, questions or dilemmas you are facing.

And then the second edition will come out later in the week, where Doc Schwartz, aka "The School Doc" will answer some of the questions school leaders raised in the first edition.

If you feel isolated and alone as a school leader, the Principal's Academy newsletter will connect you to school leaders across the country, in addition to providing you with the most current and 21st century solutions for your school.

What's the Difference Between Grading and Learning?

The school system gets itself into trouble when they care more about grades and less about student learning. Thus, the question you have to ask yourself is "am I too obsessed with grades?"

The truth is grading should be an extension of student demonstration of skill mastery.

That means, if you have students who are earning poor grades, you should be more concerned about the teacher and less about the student.

The 4 Ways to Boost Student Learning:

1.  Focus on the Student's Life Vision

2. Help the Student Create a Path to Follow

3. Outline the Knowledge the Student Will Need to Learn

4. Help Students Overcome Life Obstacles on their Path

REAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR THE 21st CENTURY

Do you think your teachers are lost as well on grading and learning?

If you think the answer is yes, then I hope you will consider the Teacher Development Program (TDP) for your school. What this program does is take over your professional development needs in a comprehensive fashion.

That means, we help each teacher create a personalized and tailored individual professional development plan, how to do teacher research and also how to improve their individual teacher talent.

The end result is that you get a much more professional and more talented teacher.

Here are some of the benefits of a more professional and talented teacher:

-- Boosted student achievement

-- Increased student attendance and engagement

-- A more positive school culture

-- Decrease in the number of teachers that feel overwhelmed and burnt out

-- A decrease in student misbehavior

Not only will you see all of these results, but you will also have less to do as a principal or school leader. Imagine coming to school and all of your teachers "just know" what to do in class every single day?

With more professional and talented teachers, you can do walkthroughs without worry, you can do teacher observations with less concern and you can talk with your teachers like they are highly trained and capable professionals - instead of a group of unruly, rude, angry and impatient people.
