And if they never receive really good support, they become 5 and 10-year teachers who can’t manage their classrooms. And then they leave the profession.\r\n\r\nBut guess what? We have a similar problem in the principalship. Most (not all) principals are not fully prepared to meet the challenges of instructional leadership. And if they never get really good support, their trajectories can mirror that f the teachers I just mentioned.\r\n\r\nThis issue is the reason I started this podcast, the reason I do a daily leadership email, it is the focus of my trainings and courses, and it is at the heart of my APEx program. If you’ve been listening for a while, you know that instructional leadership is a common focus. Today, we are going to look at the problem of developing instructional leaders and some things I think we can do about it.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/R9NMe_5dyHuYObgJIvbL7uDONkSHVV41r7Q-QyBj5Y8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE1MDYzLzE2MzEx/ODcxMjItYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
