Content: The manner in which principals lead affects learning environment improvements. The actions of principals are critical for improving learning environments. Effective principals balance fostering strong and supportive relationships among students and staff with the need to maintain high expectations. In particular, they work on nurturing relationships by speaking with teachers and students every day; finding ways to bring teachers and families together for fun activities that everyone enjoys; engaging teachers, students and families in problem solving with a focus on high expectations; contributing to students’ growing autonomy and sense of purpose; celebrating the short- and long-term wins; and selecting staff based on the extent to which they balance their deep caring for students, respect for families, and demand for excellence and autonomy.
