Yesterday, Education Week released a special report entitled, “Shaping Strong School Leaders.” As I have talked to people across the state about EdNC’s research on the principal salary structure, I have been reminded how tough it is to be a principal. Think about needing to be responsive to your district, the parents, the teachers, and the students. And yet we know that great schools need great principals. Read this report to learn more about what Education Week calls “an impossible job.”
Next week is school choice week, and EdNC will be presenting perspectives on school choice. To get us started, here is a new report from the American Enterprise Institute, “Views from Private Schools: Attitudes About School Choice Programs in Three States.”
