3 Actions new leaders should consider in the first month of school, and 1 action they should avoid.

Are you a new school principal? How about assistant principal? In this video, Peter DeWitt, Ed.D. explores 3 actions that new leaders should engage in when starting as a building leader, and 1 action they should avoid. Too often, new leaders feel the need to change things for change sake, when in reality they should be engaged in relationship building. Although that is not groundbreaking information, the 3 actions offered in this video are simple yet powerful.

I look ditto more videos on collaborative leadership from a race consciousness lens. This is an area of need for our school improvement and equity plan.
