Principal Matters with Will Parker Transformative Principal 075
Description
This is my second interview with Will Parker. Will wrote a book called Principal Matters: the motivation, courage, action, and teamwork needed for school leadership, and so we talk about his wisdom that is contained therein. Go ahead and buy it.
I interviewed Will in Episode 24 of Transformative Principal.
- A little discussion about technology.
- Some information on his book.
- How to make decisions.
- Write things down when they are still fresh so you know how to do it next time.
- Write processes down now so that you have them next time.
- Make a list and prioritize.
- How to delegate effectively.
- Importance of taking time off to recharge.
- The power of good mentors.
- Writing a letter of resignation.
- How to live without putting out fires all the time!
- Give instruction on the front end to make expectations more effective.
- Great teachers teach with both sides of their brains at once.
