Managerial Leadership
Principals will ensure that the school has processes and systems in place for budgeting, staffing, problem-solving, communicating expectations and scheduling that result in organizing the work routines in the building. The principal must be responsible for the monitoring of the school budget and the inclusion of all teachers in the budget decision so as to meet the 21st century needs of every classroom. Effectively and efficiently managing the complexity of every day life is critical for staff to be able to focus its energy on improvement.

For the 8th grade teachers, I created a parent communication log through google forms. When teachers communicate with parents they record the interaction and the form creates a spreadsheet with the provided information. This was very helpful with parent meetings especially if the teacher was not able to attend.
