Typically March and April
While you are ramping up for state assessments, we realize that the whole child is what we are teaching. They are more than just a test score. Have we been valuing the unique talents and needs of our students, staff, and families? As a campus leader, not only will personal reflection always be important, but making sure that our staff keep what is best for PEOPLE at the forefront of our decision making. As principal, you are model #1 on this topic. Everyone begins to get very tired and extremely busy in the springs months. This is when a focus on “the person” must be made intentionally.
