How Central Office Staff Can Support Principal Leadership
Over the past several years, many school districts have shifted the role of their central office staff, moving away from jobs focused on compliance and management and more towards a role in helping principals becoming better instructional leaders. But little research exists that shows what central office staff need to do to fulfill that role of "principal coach" effectively. Meredith I. Honig, an associate professor for education and policy studies at the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ in Seattle, delved into that question for a report published in the April 2012 edition of Educational Administration Quarterly.
